MANET - Lot 178

MANET Milan, The Uffici Press. A beautiful volume from the “Gallery of Art Series” dedicated to Édouard Manet, a major figure in modern painting and a precursor of Impressionism. Illustrated with numerous color reproductions, it presents the artist’s essential works, ranging from portraits to scenes of Parisian life, including the large-scale compositions that upended the academic conventions of his time. The study places Manet’s work within the artistic context of the Second Empire and the dawn of modernity, highlighting the originality of his vision, his treatment of light, and his decisive influence on subsequent generations. This copy shows significant signs of wear on the cover and spine.
