History and Location
Luncheon on the Grass was originally titled Le Bain (The Bath) and was created by Manet in 1862 and 1863. The painting depicts a female nude and a scantily dressed female bather on a picnic with two fully dressed men in a rural setting. Rejected by the Salon jury of 1863, Manet seized the opportunity to exhibit this and two other paintings in the 1863 Salon des Refusés. Today, the painting is housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
Significance
Luncheon on the Grass was a groundbreaking work that challenged traditional academic art and paved the way for modernism. The painting's juxtaposition of a female nude with fully dressed men in a contemporary setting sparked controversy and public notoriety, making it one of the most widely recognized paintings in art history.
