"Luncheon on the Grass" is a famous painting created by the French artist Édouard Manet in 1863. The artwork depicts a nude woman sitting casually on the grass alongside fully clothed men, which was considered provocative for its time. The scene challenges traditional representations of nudity in art, presenting the woman as confident and unashamed. The painting was first exhibited at the Salon des Refusés, an alternative exhibition for works rejected by the official salon. It sparked controversy and debate about morality and artistic expression, ultimately influencing the development of modern art and paving the way for later movements like Impressionism.
