Though Manet was invited to show with the Impressionists, he chose instead to continue to submit his work to the Salon, always working to change the expectations defined by the Academy. Though his artistic career was relatively short, the legacy he left is great and vast.

In one of Manet's paintings of his wife and brother on the beach, an extraordinary technique can be observed. Little kind of pebbly things, which are sand from the beach," Rishel says.
