Edouard Manet

Gypsy with cigarette (Indian woman smoking), 1862, oil on canvas, 92.08 x 73.66 cm, Princeton University Art Museum.

Manet is one of the first nineteenth century artists to approach modern-life subjects. He was a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. His early masterworks engendered great controversy and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create Impressionism. Today these are considered watershed paintings that mark the genesis of modern art.
