Gombrich describes a number of revolutions in art of the 19th century.
One of these revolutions is the emergence of Realism and Impressionism, led by the painter Edouard Manet (p. 514-517). Consider the following quote from the French intellectual Emile Zola who is writing about Edouard Manets 1865 painting Olympia, When our artists give us Venuses, they correct nature, they lie. Edouard Manet asked himself why lie, why not tell the truth; he introduced us to Olympia, this woman of our time, whom you meet on the sidewalks. According to Zola and Gombrich, what did Manet do that was so revolutionary in his works of art? A complete answer should discuss in specific detail both technical (the way he painted) and narrative (what he painted) elements of Manets Olympia.
