manet / degas

location

metropolitan museum of art, nyc

date

october 21, 2023

this new exhibit at the met directly compares the master works of Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas, chronologically analyzing their artistic relationships that directly influenced and contrasted with each other. although they were born just two years apart (Manet in 1832 and Degas in 1834), and both the eldest sons of Parisian upper-middle-class families, their artistic paths could not have been more different. Manet and Degas had a mutual respect for one another, either through friendship or rivalry, that developed many significant dialogues within nineteenth-century french impressionist art.

descriptions are copied from the met's written plaques for each work.
