"Le
D'jeuner sur l'Herbe"
Edouard Manet
| Luncheon on
the Grass was exhibited with other impressionist paintings at the Salon
des Refuses by Manet in 1863. This painting earned the impressionists a
great deal of media attention. Whilst a nude in a classical setting was
considered acceptable, one in a contemporary setting was not. Luncheon on
the Grass caused a public scandal and was savaged by the critics. |
