Description: No artistic masterpiece has ever gained legendary status without a little scandal. In the case of The Luncheon on the Grass, displayed at the Musée d’Orsay, the hugely famous painting by Édouard Manet was actually rejected by the jury of the Salon, meaning that Manet exhibited it at the Salon des Réfusés (‘Exhibition of Rejects’). The scandal wasn’t provoked because of the nudity, but because of the subject’s challenging gaze. It’s almost as though she is overruling the spectator’s authority as they gaze upon her naked body, which at the time was perceived as threatening.
