His early masterworks, Le déjeuner sur l'herbe, and Olympia both created in 1863, caused great controversy and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create Impressionism. Today, these are considered watershed paintings that mark the start of modern art. The last 20 years of Manet's life saw him form bonds with other great artists of the time, and develop his style that would be heralded as innovative and serve as a major influence for future painters.
