"Luncheon on the Grass" (French: "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe") is a seminal painting by the French artist Claude Monet, created in the early 1860s. This work is significant in the development of French painting, as it marks a departure from the traditional subjects and techniques of the time, showcasing Monet's early engagement with the plein air painting style that would later become a hallmark of Impressionism. The painting depicts a social gathering of individuals in a rural setting, enjoying a meal on the grass, surrounded by the dappled light and natural environment that Monet observed directly from life.

Monet's "Luncheon on the Grass" was inspired by Édouard Manet's painting of the same name, which caused a scandal when exhibited in 1863 due to its contemporary subject matter and the presence of a nude woman alongside clothed men. While Monet's version is less controversial, it is equally innovative in its approach to capturing the effects of light and atmosphere. The painting is characterized by loose brushwork, a vibrant palette, and an attention to the transient effects of sunlight filtering through the trees, which would become central to the Impressionist movement.

The work was never completed to Monet's satisfaction, and it exists in several fragments, with the largest portion residing in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The fragmented nature of the painting is a result of Monet cutting it into pieces after it was rejected by the Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Despite its incomplete state, "Luncheon on the Grass" remains an important testament to Monet's early experimentation with open-air painting and his commitment to capturing modern life through a fresh, innovative lens. The painting's influence extends beyond its time, contributing to the broader narrative of the development of modern art and the eventual embrace of Impressionist techniques and subjects.
