Six readings of Manet’s *Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe*

This volume gathers six essays on a painting that has prompted critical analysis for more than a century without yielding a single interpretation. The contributors examine its style and subject alongside relevant historical developments, archival material, and biographical evidence. The collection’s structure makes the painting the point of departure for several kinds of inquiry, including psychological readings, while keeping attention on the context in which the work can be understood. It offers a focused study of one image in French art through a range of scholarly approaches.

Book overview

Edouard Manet's controversial painting "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" is one of the best known images in French art. The subject of critical analysis for more than a century, it still defies singular interpretations. These essays, written specially for this volume by the leading scholars of French modern art, therefore offer six different readings of the painting, incorporating close examinations of its radical style and novel subject, relevant historical developments and archival material, as well as biographical evidence that prompts psychological inquiries.
