9 works across 2 institutions
London holds 9 works by Édouard Manet across 2 institutions, including Courtauld Gallery and National Gallery.
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.
