Édouard Manet
French painter, 1832-1883
Édouard Manet was a French painter. He was one of the first 19th-century artists to paint modern life, and a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. His early masterworks, The Luncheon on the Grass (Le déjeuner sur l'herbe) and Olympia, both 1863, caused 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.

Rare 2.5 x 4 carte-de-visite portrait of Manet in a bust-length pose by F. Mulnier of Paris, signed and inscribed in ink on the reverse to his student, Eva Gonzales, "A Mlle. Eva, E. Manet." In fine condition. The recipient, Éva Gonzalès (1849-1883), entered Manet's studio in 1869, when she became his student. Eva's presence brought Manet out of his shell. Manet is said to have begun a portrait of her at once, which was completed in March 1870 and exhibited as Mlle E. G., at the Paris Salon the same year.
Manet’s work received critics as Mlle E.G. is presented in a stiff posture and an expensive dress, clearly unfit for creating artwork. Gonzalès was Manet’s only formal student and modeled for several other painters of the Impressionist school. Her work as a painter was celebrated by Salon reviewers for her inherent intuition and her intrinsic technical skill. In 1879 she married Henri Guérard, a graphic artist and Manet’s engraver..
