One way that the industrial revolution's impact showed itself in the art of realists like Manet is through the depiction of modern urban life and the changing social structures of the time. Manet's paintings often featured scenes of contemporary Parisian society, including images of bustling city streets, crowded cafes, and everyday people going about their daily lives. This focus on the urban environment and contemporary social issues reflected the rapid industrialization and urbanization that was taking place during the 19th century, and highlighted the impact of these changes on the lives of ordinary people.
