"Olympia" is a renowned painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, first exhibited at the 1865 Paris Salon. This oil on canvas work measures 130.5 cm × 190 cm (51.4 in × 74.8 in) and is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. "Olympia" is considered one of the pivotal works in the transition from Realism to Impressionism and is notable for its modern portrayal of the nude female form.

The painting depicts a nude woman, Olympia, reclining on a bed, attended by a black servant who presents her with a bouquet of flowers. Olympia's confrontational gaze, direct and unapologetic, challenges the traditional representations of the passive female nude in art. Her pose is reminiscent of Titian's "Venus of Urbino," yet Manet's interpretation is starkly modern, eschewing the idealized beauty of classical nudes for a more realistic and provocative depiction.

Manet's choice of subject and style was controversial at the time. The model for Olympia was Victorine Meurent, a frequent subject of Manet's work, who was known for her distinctive red hair and fair skin. The painting's stark lighting, minimal background, and the inclusion of contemporary details such as the orchid in Olympia's hair, the black ribbon around her neck, and the slippers at her feet, all contribute to its modernity.

The reception of "Olympia" was mixed, with many critics and viewers scandalized by its boldness and perceived indecency. The painting was seen as a direct affront to the academic standards of the time, which favored mythological or historical subjects over contemporary scenes. Despite the initial outrage, "Olympia" has since been recognized as a groundbreaking work that challenged and expanded the boundaries of art.

"Olympia" continues to be a subject of extensive analysis and interpretation, with scholars examining its themes of sexuality, race, and class. The painting's influence on subsequent generations of artists and its role in the development of modern art underscore its enduring significance in the history of Western art.
