About the piece
Painted in 1863, Édouard Manet’s 'Luncheon on the Grass' (Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe) marks a pivotal moment in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. The work creates a striking juxtaposition between the luminous, classically-inspired central nude and the dark, modern clothing of her companions, all set within a lushly painted atmospheric forest.
