Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe
Painting by Édouard Manet
For other uses, see Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe (disambiguation).
Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe (French:[lədeʒœnesyʁlɛʁb,-ʒøn-]; The Luncheon on the Grass) – originally titled Le Bain (The Bath) – is a large oil on canvas painting by Édouard Manet created in 1862 and 1863.
It 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,[1] where the painting sparked public notoriety and controversy.[2] The work increased Manet's fame; in spite of this it nonetheless failed to sell at its debut.
The work is now in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.[4] A smaller, earlier version can be seen at the Courtauld Gallery, London.[5]
Description and context
[edit]The painting features a nude woman casually lunching with two fully dressed men. Her body is starkly lit and she stares directly at the viewer. The two men, dressed as young dandies, sit with her. In front of them, the woman's clothes, a basket of fruit, and a round loaf of bread are displayed, as in a still life. In the background
