Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 14.6 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 17 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.3 × 61.1 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Manet's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 130 × 190 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France. Full size guide.

About the Painting

"Olympia," displayed at the Salon of 1865, presents a nude figure assuming a pose reminiscent of works by Titian, Velásquez or Goya. Similar to "The Luncheon on the Grass" (1862-63), it shocked audiences with its modernity. Firstly, Manet's nude gazes directly at the viewer, devoid of a smile, issuing a challenging and confrontational presence. Secondly, she adorns high-heeled slippers and a black ribbon around her neck, accessories that accentuate her nudity. She is not a reclining Venus but a prostitute. From the shadows, a black maid emerges, bearing flowers from a client, though they provide the woman with no pleasure. Crossing the bed is a black cat, a traditional symbol of sexual activity.

While the gesture of the woman covering herself with her hand appears conventional, its motivation lacks chastity. As the viewer, positioned as the client, you have not paid to see her, thus amplifying the provocative nature of the composition.

The style employed in "Olympia" possesses an almost cold expression, juxtaposed with a delicate clarity. The subtlety and finesse with which the figure is modeled exemplify Manet's characteristic approach, heightening viewers' acute awareness of the woman's body and increasing their unease. Her body contrasts with the dark, simplified background, enlivened only by flashes of color through the bouquet and the flower adorning her hair. Nonetheless, it harmonizes with the pale silk shawl and the white linen of the bedclothes.
