Edouard Manet was born in Paris on January 23, 1832, to an affluent family. He was one of the pioneers of the impressionist movement and provided a transition from realism to impressionism. "I paint what I see, and not what others like to see" Edouard MANET used to say to oppose to the academic doctrine, intending to assert his own subjectivity and the importance of the vision of the painter compared to the conventional rules.
