| Summary: | The political connotations of the works of Édouard Manet (1832-1883) are a subject of controversy. In a 1969 article, Michael Fried suggested the influence of historian Jules Michelet (1798-1874) in the art of Manet, but his interpretation was vehemently rejected by some. In this article, from other sources, the author demonstrates that there were indeed close links between Manet and Michelet, confirming Fried's hypothesis. Manet's historical and political conscience must be considered in his paintings, particularly in his knowledge of the evils of colonialism. |
