Summary "Histoire de Édouard Manet et de son oeuvre" by Théodore Duret is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the life and artistic journey of Édouard Manet, a pivotal figure in the 19th-century art movement who played a crucial role in shaping modern art. It delves into Manet's background, his struggles with societal and familial expectations, and his dedication to pursuing a career in painting, ultimately emphasizing his revolutionary contributions to the art world. The opening of the book introduces readers to Édouard Manet's early life, detailing his privileged upbringing in a bourgeois family and the expectations placed upon him to follow a traditional career in law or magistracy. Despite this pressure, Manet's passion for art flourished, leading him to defy his family's wishes and seek his calling as an artist. His initial attempts at conforming to academic standards in his art education ultimately sparked a rebellious drive to forge his own innovative path, setting the stage for the struggles and triumphs that would define his career. Indeed, this section sets the foundation for understanding the fierce artistic independence that characterized Manet's legacy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
