"The Lunch on the Grass" will be custom-printed for your order using the latest giclée printing technology. This technique ensures that the Canvas Print captures an exceptional level of detail, showcasing vibrant and vivid colors with remarkable clarity.

Our use of the finest quality, fine-textured canvas lends art reproductions a painting-like appearance. Combined with a satin-gloss coating, it delivers exceptional print outcomes, showcasing vivid colors, intricate details, deep blacks, and impeccable contrasts. The canvas structure is also highly compatible with canvas stretching frames, further enhancing its versatility.

To ensure proper stretching of the artwork on the stretcher-bar, we add additional blank borders around the printed area on all sides.

Our printing process utilizes cutting-edge technology and employs the Giclée printmaking method, ensuring exceptional quality. The colors undergo independent verification, guaranteeing a lifespan of over 100 years.

Please note that there are postal restrictions limiting the size of framed prints to a maximum of 28 inches along the longest side of the painting. If you desire a larger art print, we recommend utilizing the services of your local framing studio.
*It is important to mention that the framing option is unavailable for certain paintings, such as those with oval or round shapes.

Manet unveiled his groundbreaking nature when he submitted "The Lunch on the Grass", originally titled "The Bath," to the Salon in 1863. As expected, it faced rejection, and when displayed at the Salon des Refusés, an alternative exhibition initiated by Napoleon III, it sparked significant scandal and controversy. Both the public and critics were appalled, believing it to be a mockery of the esteemed Masters. While the combination of clothed men and unclothed women was acceptable in Giorgione's 17th-century "Pastoral Symphony" (c.1510) at the Louvre, a contemporary interpretation was deemed indecent.

Classical paintings often depicted nudes within a landscape, but Manet's decision to have the nude (Victorine Meurent, his preferred model) face the viewer directly, accompanied by a disorganized picnic, a heap of garments, and two fully dressed men (one being Manet's brother and the other, Rodolphe Leenhoff, his future brother-in-law) was considered offensive.

Even Théophile Thor (1807-69), a friend of the provocative poet Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867), dismissed the piece as an 'absurd composition,' only briefly acknowledging the qualities of light and color in the landscape and the accurate modeling of the woman's torso.

The emerging artists of the 1870s, later known as the Impressionists, saw the spirited Manet as their guiding figure and leader. However, he consistently maintained a professional distance from them and never participated in any of their group exhibitions.
