Curator’s note
Olympia
A provocative landmark by Édouard Manet, the master who opened the door to modern painting. By replacing a goddess with a real woman who stares directly at the viewer, it caused great shock and controversy, its bold gaze and flattened forms now regarded as a starting point of modern art.
