Edouard Manet, Déjeuner sur l'herbe, 1863.
A decade earlier the Salon had rejected Manet's image of an outdoor
picnic in which Victorine Meurent posed nude beside two clothed, male companions.
Instead he exhibited at the adjacent Salon
des Refusés, where the ironic placement of the figures shocked,
but also amused the public.
