Self Portrait of Manet on a stamp<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the 19th century, Edouard Manet shocked the art world with his uninhibited and frank portrayals of modern scenes. \u00a0He is credited with ushering in the age of modern art\u2014and with helping the transition from Realism to Impressionism.<\/p>\n

Manet\u2019s controversial paintings and revolutionary ideas are the basis for the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay\u2019s retrospective: Manet, the Man Who Invented Modernity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition to Manet\u2019s masterworks of Le d\u00e9jeuner sur l\u2019herbe, the famous scene of two men lunching with a nude woman, and Olympia, an unabashed portrait of a lady of the night in her bedroom, this exhibit will showcase the master\u2019s influences and relationships. \u00a0Manet was a man who took his art very seriously, knowing that he could change the world with it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris<\/a>, the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay will allow you to see, side-by-side, how others influenced his choices of subject, style and execution.<\/p>\n

There could be no better showcase for Manet\u2019s works than the former train station turned museum. \u00a0This gem of Beaux-Arts architecture, featuring soaring skylights, bas-relief marble sculptures and the original clock that ensured trains would run on time, is worth a visit in and of itself. \u00a0With its unparalleled collection of Impressionist paintings and a focus on educating visitors about art of the 19th century, the d\u2019Orsay is the perfect Parisian day trip for art-lovers and novices to the art scene. \u00a0You will leave the Manet retrospective feeling creative and energized, knowing that the arts can change the way you see the world, even 150 years later. \u00a0Perhaps you\u2019ll buy a sketchbook and pen in the gift shop so you can practice jotting down your own vision of Paris.<\/p>\n

The Manet exhibit runs until early July<\/strong>, so there is plenty of time to book a vacation rental in the 7th arrondissement of Paris <\/a>through New York Habitat. \u00a0Are you ready to see the world through Manet\u2019s eyes this season? \u00a0Check out these apartments in the 7th arrondissement<\/a>, all within easy walking distance of the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay, to start your search:<\/p>\n
