Written in French.

The exhibition at the Fine Arts Museum, Caen in 2013 brings together masterpieces by Manet, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Cézanne and Seurat, while also revealing artists rarely shown in France, such as Willumsen and Sorolla. They all illustrate marvellously the new craze for the pleasures of water.

The artist

Edouard Manet (1832-1883)

Major French painter and engraver of the late 19th century. A precursor of modern painting, which he freed from academism, Édouard Manet is wrongly considered to be one of the fathers of Impressionism: he differs from it in that he is concerned about reality and makes little or no use of the new techniques of colour and the particular treatment of light.
