Abstract
A name associated with controversy in the art world, French-born artist, edouard manet, has come to be viewed as one of the founders of modern art. (Cole & Gealt, 1989). Born on January 23, 1832, his mother the goddaughter of Charles Bernadotte, Crown Prince of Sweden and father, distinguished judge in the Ministry of Justice, manet was brought up into the ranks of the well-bred and well-off Parisian bourgeoisie. Despite appearing to be the quintessential role model of a well-mannered, well-spoken and well-read man of high society, he showed no inclination or ability for academic subject matter. manet's only true interest and talent were in the arts. This was much to his father's disappointment, who wanted his son to follow his example and pursue a career in law. (Wikipedia, 2006). After two failed attempts at passing the naval entrance exam, he entered the studio of Thomas Couture, where he studied art, from 1850 to 1856.
