The Luncheon on the Grass Enamel Pin

$1395

Édouard Manet, a key figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism, painted The Luncheon on the Grass between 1862 and 1863. Originally titled Le Bain (The Bath), this large oil on canvas painting challenged the conventions of its time by depicting a nude woman picnicking with two fully clothed men in a rural setting. Inspired by Renaissance art, particularly the poses from works such as Titian's Pastoral Concert, Manet's composition rejected traditional academic norms. The stark contrasts and flatness presented a new approach to light and form, paving the way for modern art movements. Despite initial scandal and controversy, The Luncheon on the Grass remains a seminal work in art history, illustrating Manet's pivotal role in the evolution of Western art.
