Meanwhile, in the life of Édouard Manet
The whole life1850–1856
A break with Couture and a return at his father's insistence
Manet increasingly rejected the bourgeois bent of the dominant style and finally left Couture's studio, but at his father's insistence he had to apologise and return, keeping his rejection of strict academicism.
1856
Opens his own studio
In 1856 Manet opened a studio. His style in this period was characterised by loose brush strokes, simplification of details and the suppression of transitional tones; he adopted the realism initiated by Gustave Courbet.
1856–1858
Baudelaire and the studio on Rue Lavoisier
In 1856–1858 Manet became known as a promising artist and was invited to various salons, forming a particularly warm friendship with the poet Charles Baudelaire. Together with Count Albert de Balleroy he rented premises on Rue Lavoisier as a studio, and went to the Louvre every day to copy famous paintings.
