Édouard Manet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1853 words)
Manet took respected works by Renaissance artists and updated them, a practice he also adopted in Olympia (1863), a nude portrayed in a style reminiscent of the early studio photographs, but which was based on Titian's Venus of Urbino (1538).
Manet often sat at the restaurant on the Avenue de Clichy called Pere Lathuille's, which had a garden as well as the eating area.
Manet depicted other popular activities in his work, such as the races in Racing at Longchamp, which shows popular horse racing, where the excitement of the horses as they rush towards the viewer is shown.

However, Manet refused to enter any of the impressionist exhibitions because he didn't think of his paintings as impressionist paintings and because he did not approve of their opposition to the official salon system.
Manet was influenced to use lighter colors and paint areas of light and dark.
Manet died in Paris on April 30, 1883 and is buried in the Cimetiere de Passy, Paris, France.
