What is the difference between Monet and Manet?

1 Answer
The difference between Monet and Manet is that the two individuals are unique artists. Édouard Manet was 8 years older than Claude Monet and established himself as a painter in Paris first. Scholars tend to view Manet’s work as an important precursor to Impressionism, and his works often focused on everyday people going about their regular lives. Considered one of the key figures of the Impressionist movement, Monet favored landscapes and was particularly interested in capturing how the eye viewed its surroundings rather than how places actually appeared. As a result, he frequently painted the same scenes over and over on different days and in varying light conditions. On 1stDibs, find a variety of art from some of the world's top dealers.
