Second session: Edouard Manet, Luncheon on the Grass
Luncheon on the Grass broke away from the classical view of established conventions. The painting was rejected by the Paris Salon. When it was exhibited to the public in 1863 at the Salon des Refusés, it created a huge scandal with the public, making Manet instantly famous. Today it is one of the Musée d'Orsay's highlights and a classic leading the way to Modernism.
