Description of obverse and reverse

Edouard Manet was a French painter. One of the first nineteenth century artists to approach modern-life subjects, he was a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. His masterwork Olympia engendered great controversy, and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create Impressionism.
