The Luncheon on the Grass by the French artist Edouard Manet is celebrated as the first “Modern” painting. Exhibited in 1863, this groundbreaking image shocked the art world and ignited a fierce debate about nudity, social conventions, and the role of art in society. In 1865, the exhibit of his Olympia painting created a scandal that required guards to protect the painting from outraged viewers. In an overview of this remarkable artist’s tumultuous career, you’ll learn why he’s called “the father of Modernism.”
