''Olympia'' is a seminal oil painting by Édouard Manet, completed in 1863 and first exhibited at the 1865 Paris Salon. The artwork measures 130.5 by 190 centimeters and is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris since its opening in 1986. The painting depicts a reclining nude woman, identified as Olympia, attended by a maid and a black cat. The subject's confrontational gaze and the presence of a black servant and a bouquet of flowers suggest that she is a courtesan receiving a client.

Manet's ''Olympia'' caused a scandal upon its unveiling due to its stark departure from traditional representations of the nude in Western art. Unlike the idealized figures of earlier works, Olympia is depicted with a level of realism that was unsettling to contemporary audiences. Her direct gaze and the details of her boudoir challenge the passive eroticism expected of female nudes at the time. The painting's flatness, with a disregard for traditional perspective, and the harsh lighting that accentuates Olympia's pale skin, further contribute to its modernity.

''Olympia'' is often cited as a key work in the transition from Realism to Impressionism and is considered a watershed in the history of modern art. Manet's bold technique and social commentary influenced a generation of artists, including the Impressionists, who sought to break from academic traditions and depict modern life. The painting's critical reception has evolved over time, with contemporary scholars recognizing its complex interplay of race, gender, and class, as well as its pivotal role in the development of modern painting.
