The final break with Manet over “The Absinthe Drinker”
Manet invites Couture to his home, where Couture declares himself outraged by the “drunkard” and by the “vileness” the artist has created. The cause is Manet’s “The Absinthe Drinker” (1858–1859); after that, teacher and pupil never meet again.
1860
Leaves Paris for his native Senlis
Upset by the unfavourable reception of his murals, Couture leaves Paris in 1860 and for a time returns to his hometown of Senlis, where he goes on teaching the young artists who come to him.
