We love roaming the rooms of the d'Orsay to find all of Manet's works exhibited there. In fact, Manet scorned rules and conventions and is today considered the master of the painters collectively called the pre-Impressionists. He didn't depict the ideal, classical world that the École des Beaux-Arts encouraged. Manet was revolutionary in painting scenes of everyday people engaged in activities like relaxing on the beach, in bars, cafes, and theaters. Manet was the spiritual father of a younger generation of painters who longed to be free from the constraints of the stuffy Paris Salon, the annual state-sponsored art show. Even for a museum dedicated to the 19th century Impressionists, that's quite a few paintings by one artist. There are 49 artworks by the French painter Edouard Manet (1832-1883) at the Musée d'Orsay.
