Answer
Naval officer was the intended career path for Édouard Manet. Despite his artistic talent and passion for painting, Manet's family insisted on a more conventional and secure profession. He joined the French Navy and embarked on a voyage to South America. However, his naval career was short-lived as he ultimately decided to pursue his true passion for art and dedicate himself to a life as a painter.
