English fellow and French painter (5)

I believe the answer is:

manet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'painter' is the definition.
(I know that Manet is a painter)

'english fellow and french' is the wordplay.
'english fellow' becomes 'man' (fellow can mean a man. I am not sure about the 'english' bit.).
'and french' becomes 'et' ('and' in French).
'man'+'et'='MANET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for manet that I've seen before include "Edouard ---, pre-impressionist" , "Edouard - - (painter)" , "Painter of Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe, d. 1883" , "Edouard ___, painted Dejeuner sur l'herbe, d. 1883" , "Olympia artist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
