Berlin's Alte Nationalgalerie holds 3 works by Édouard Manet (1832–1883) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Manet is the painter of modern life, and his best canvases have an immediacy that still feels contemporary. In person, his technique is remarkable — broad confident strokes, passages of near-abstraction alongside crisp observation — and his large paintings command any room.
