Berthe Morisot holds the posthumous exhibition of Édourad Manet's work in the Salle de Melpoméne of the École des Beaux-Arts in January 1884.
True to his admiration for the artist, Émile Zola writes the preface to the catalog.
It is after this memorial exhibition that Manet's paintings begin to gain prominence.
