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 16.9 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 19.3 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.6 × 53.2 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 208 × 264 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

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.
