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 was the pivotal figure who bridged Realism and Impressionism in 19th-century French painting. His frank depictions of modern Parisian life — Olympia, Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe — caused scandal but transformed Western painting. He worked almost entirely in Paris and never exhibited with the Impressionists, though he was their greatest inspiration.
