Celebrate the birthday of French artist,Edouard Manet by looking at the Library's collection of not only his work but many of the French Impressionists. Manet was born on January 23, 1832 in Paris, France. He did not consider himself an impressionist in the mode of Renoir or Monet but was often seen by others as the father of French Impressionism.
