Paris holds 50 works by Édouard Manet across 4 institutions, including Musée d'Orsay, Louvre Museum, and 2 other venues.
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.
