📸 Photo of the Day: The Impact of Édouard Manet on a Wall in Paris

A worker is installing a reconstruction of the painting “Jeanne” by Édouard Manet on a wall in Paris. Manet was one of the most important and influential painters of the 19th century who, unlike the academic painters of his time, focused in his works on themes of everyday life and had a bold look at modern life. “Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe” and “Olympia” are two of his best-known works that became highly controversial in art circles and among the general public due to their depiction of nude women.
