Manet and Monet were two painters that nearly share the same name. However, their works and styles are quite different in many regards. Manet and Monet both were 19th century artists whose art shaped the Impressionistic movement. Both of their styles were rather painterly in nature. They both were revolutionary in their own right. Manet’s subjects included a powerful courtesan, quite a shock for many viewers. Monet’s landscapes utilized a completely new style of painting involved dots as brushstrokes, capturing a moment in time.
Despite these similarities, Manet and Monet’s works were quite different in most regards. Monet’s new style was generally accepted by critics and the public. When presenting new paintings, Manet was scorned. Manet chose to paint far more controversial topics. Monet stuck to landscapes for the most part. Overall, Monet’s brushwork was far different from Manet’s loose but more linear style. Although they possess some similarities, the artworks of Manet and Monet are largely contrasting.
