Luncheon on the Grass (Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe) – Édouard Manet, 1863
Framed Canvas Reproduction
Own a piece of art history with Luncheon on the Grass, Édouard Manet’s revolutionary 1863 masterpiece that shocked the Paris Salon and changed the course of modern painting. At once classical and defiant, this bold composition presents a nude woman calmly seated alongside two fully clothed men in a wooded clearing, while another figure bathes in the background—blurring boundaries between past and present, reality and allegory.
Manet drew inspiration from Renaissance works, yet flattened the space, modernized the setting, and introduced an unflinching direct gaze that challenged bourgeois sensibilities. The result is a painting that feels both timeless and unsettling. The brushwork is loose and lively, the lighting theatrical, and the psychological tension palpable. More than a picnic scene, Luncheon on the Grass is a manifesto of artistic independence, redefining what was acceptable in both form and content.
This museum-quality framed canvas reproduction captures the bold contrasts, controversial clarity, and historical importance of the original. Ideal for collectors of groundbreaking art, Realism, or works that provoke conversation and reframe tradition, Luncheon on the Grass is a cornerstone of avant-garde style.
