About the Artist

Édouard Manet, a linchpin in the evolution of modern art, emerged as a daring French modernist whose canvases captured the vibrancy of 19th-century life. He is widely acclaimed for his role in pioneering Impressionism, steering art from Realism into uncharted territories. Defying his upper-class roots and a preordained naval path, Manet became a student in the studio of Thomas Couture from 1850 but grew to dislike his master's Salon style over time; thereafter, he set up his own studio in 1856.

The Absinthe Drinker

Considered to be Manet's first major painting and first original work, The Absinthe Drinker (c. 1859) is now in the collection of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. This early masterpiece captures 19th-century Parisian bohemian life and challenges norms while reflecting Absinthe's impact on art and society.

The Absinthe Drinker's Impact

Manet's The Absinthe Drinker is a precursor to the Impressionist movement, which would dominate the latter half of the 19th century. This painting reflects Manet's growing disillusionment with traditional academic painting and his desire to depict modern life in a more candid and unfiltered manner.
