Summary:
Édouard Manet has been called the "father of modern art." But just who is he? In this film, focused on the sell-out Manet exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, we explore his life and works. Presented by art expert Tim Marlow, we have exclusive access to the show as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the show's preparation and a detailed biography of Manet and a rapidly changing 19th-century Paris. Leading experts and painters provided their analysis, all in stunning detail.
