MANET - OLYMPIA, 1865. Oil on canvas, 1865, by Edouard Manet
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This iconic print captures the essence of Edouard Manet's masterpiece "Olympia" painted in 1865. The painting depicts a reclining nude woman named Olympia, who gazes confidently at the viewer with an air of nonchalance. Manet's daring portrayal of a prostitute as his subject caused quite a stir when it was first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1865. Olympia's direct gaze challenges societal norms and confronts viewers with their own preconceived notions about female sexuality. The composition is strikingly modern for its time, featuring bold brushstrokes and simplified forms that would later become hallmarks of Impressionism. The contrast between Olympia's pale skin and dark background further emphasizes her presence within the frame. Beside her lies a bouquet of flowers, presumably sent by an admirer or client. A black house maid stands behind her holding a chaise lounge draped with rich fabric—a symbol of luxury and opulence. Manet's "Olympia" continues to captivate audiences today with its provocative subject matter and innovative style. It remains one of the most important works in French art history, challenging conventions while showcasing Manet's mastery as an artist. This high-quality print from Granger Art on Demand allows you to bring home a piece of art history and appreciate the beauty and significance of this groundbreaking painting by
