The criticisms of Olympia had less to do with the model’s nakedness and more to do with the subject matter’s reality. It’s regarded as one of the most scandalous famous paintings by Édouard Manet, because of Manet’s rethinking of the classic topic of female nudity and his technical execution. Olympia is a painting of a naked woman in a leisure position with a servant delivering flowers. The painting was particularly unusual in that it had a particular limitation in flatness. It was considered an embarrassment at the time, not only because of the woman’s nakedness in comparison to the males but also because Manet used recognizable models for the figures in the painting. This is a painting of a naked woman surrounded by fully dressed males at the Salon des Refusés. Luncheon on the Grass, or Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe in his native French, is not only one of the most famous paintings by Édouard Manet, but it is also one of the all-time great works, in art history. As one of the first nineteenth-century artists to study modern-day topics, he was a prominent figure in the transition from realism to impressionism. Édouard Manet (1832–1883) was a French painter and printmaker who specialized in depicting daily life and metropolitan scenes.
