Manet at the Musée d'Orsay
It was at the Musée d'Orsay that tourists flocked to see Manet’s painting "Lunch on the Grass". Visitors comment on the exhibition and the shocking themes at the time of the painting such as the nudity of the woman. Victorine Meurent who is in the center of the painting is Manet’s favorite model. The painter is inspired by Titian and Raphael. Stéphane GUEGAN, curator of the exhibition, describes the painting as follows: "We feel that there is something ancient, classic in the attitude of the woman, and in this mould he introduces the folds of the body, the flesh, the gaze, the pulsating reality". This painting was refused at the salon at the time. Manet shows the clothes, and the fruits on the ground cherries and fig, sexual fruits. Focus on these details.
