The Luncheon on the Grass by Édouard Manet, 1863

Édouard Manet was one of the first 19th-century artists to paint modern life, as well as a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. His early masterworks, The Luncheon on the Grass and Olympia, both from 1863, caused great controversy, but today, these are considered key paintings that mark the start of modern art.

The last 20 years of Manet's life saw him form bonds with other great artists of the time such as Pissarro, Cézanne, and van Gogh, yet he developed his own simple and direct style that would be heralded as innovative and serve as a major influence for future painters. In a richly illustrated program, art historian Joseph P. Cassar critically examines several of Manet’s key works within their historical context.
