Édouard Manet's In the Garden of the Villa Bellevue
View Poster

Édouard Manet, born on this date in 1832, was a painter who greatly influenced impressionists, though he chose not to be identified as one himself. Many of his works scandalized the French, who were especially shocked by his paintings of nudes. In his Luncheon on the Grass a young female sits nude, having lunch with several fully clothed men. When the Salon refused to show the painting, Manet submitted it to the Salon des Refusés, where it was hung and still drew criticism for what viewers considered lewd content.
