Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, 1863
Édouard Manet
Oil on canvas · 208 x 264.5 cm
A calmly nude woman picnics with two fully dressed men, scandal included.
Manet scandalised Paris in 1863 by seating a nude woman, gazing calmly out at us, beside two clothed men at a picnic. Its flat light and modern frankness broke every academic rule — the provocation that helped launch modern painting.
