MANET AND MODERN PARIS

An exhibition in Milan dedicated to Manet which will allow you to experience the Parisian atmosphere of the late 19th century.
Between 1850 and 1880 Paris was changing rapidly its appearance. And it’s that atmosphere of renovation and modernity that was described by Manet and some painters who were his companions during his life and work.
