I suspect this has been debated already but is it Monet or Manet? Cambridge Biographical Dictionary leads you to believe that Manet is the founder of the Impressionist movement but I would have thought Monet was the 'unswerving advocate'. Any thoughts? BB

The Houghton Mifflin Dictionary of Cultural Literacy says Manet was "A nineteenth-century French painter, one of the originators of Impressionism".
The Hutchinson Encyclopedia says Manet was a "leading Impressionist"
While Monet may be the front runner, I don't think we can exclude Manet. Therefore at the end of the day, only Kate knows the correct answer!

To settle this once and for all, check website http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/monet/ The wording leaves no doubt. Nice website too.
