...exhibit places Bellows in the context of a long tradition of European artists’ portrayals of the ravages of war, including paintings by Edouard Manet, Honoré Daumier and Marie-Anne Collot. One Bellows lithograph in the series, “Massacre of the Dinant,” directly references works by Francisco de Goya, which are also on display in the exhibit...
...great photographers. At the Musée d'Orsay, Manet/Velázquez, The Spanish Manner in the 19th Century documents the influence of the great 17th and 18th century Spanish painters - Velázquez, Mur?llo, Zurbarán, Ribéra, Goya - on such 19th century French artists as Manet, Delacroix, Chassériau and Courbet.

He loved the sea and was able to exercise that love by constantly cruising the Mediterranean coast of France in an 11-m cutter christened, in homage to Edouard Manet's infamous nude, the Olympia. (His first and much smaller boat he named, to show his artistic affiliations, the Manet-Zola-Wagner, a heavy cargo for a mere day sailer to carry.) He "discovered" St.-Tropez long before tourism did, and built there a big rambling house, La Hune, which...
