"Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" (The Luncheon on the Grass) is a seminal painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, created in 1863. This large-scale oil on canvas work is renowned for its bold composition and provocative subject matter, which challenged the conventions of art and society in the 19th century. Measuring 208 by 264.5 centimeters, the painting depicts a picnic scene featuring a nude woman casually seated alongside two fully dressed men in a rural setting, with another woman bathing in the background.

Manet's choice to juxtapose a nude female figure with clothed male companions was a deliberate departure from the traditional depictions of nudes in classical and academic art, where such figures were typically placed within mythological or allegorical contexts. Instead, Manet's contemporary setting and the direct gaze of the nude woman towards the viewer broke with the established norms and elicited strong reactions from the public and critics alike.

The painting was initially rejected by the jury of the prestigious Paris Salon, leading Manet to exhibit it at the Salon des Refusés (Exhibition of Rejects) in 1863, an alternative venue for works not accepted by the official Salon. The controversial nature of "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" sparked widespread debate and marked a pivotal moment in the history of modern art. It is often cited as a precursor to the Impressionist movement, with its emphasis on modern life and innovative use of light and color.

Manet drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including the Renaissance works of Giorgione and Titian, as well as the compositions of the French Rococo painter François Boucher. Despite the initial scandal, "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" has since been recognized as a masterpiece and a cornerstone of Manet's oeuvre. Today, it is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its audacious vision and groundbreaking approach to art.
