Olympia Paris in the Age of Manet by Otto Friedrich is a narrative of art and politics in Paris during the second empire, circa 1865-1885. It evokes and era and vividly describes people and events. The central character is Manet and it is through his paintings that the period comes to life. Napoleon lll, Bismarck, Proust, Zola and Victor Hugo are many of the people portrayed. Haussmann tears up and rebuilds most of central Paris, Empress Eugénie prods Napoleon into war then loses his entire army and surrenders, The Third Republic is proclaimed, and Manet and Degas serve in the defending army. The impressionists paint and quarrel. Manet paints his beautiful portrait of Morosit and then suffers from ataxia and can only paint flowers. He died of shock in 1833. This is the history of a culture, its people and events that paints of portrait and cements history.
