Olympia
Édouard Manet
1863
Olympia is an 1863 oil painting by Édouard Manet, depicting a nude white woman ("Olympia") lying on a bed being attended to by a black maid. The French government acquired the painting in 1890 after a public subscription organized by Claude Monet. The painting is now in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris.
The figure of Olympia was modeled by 19 year-old Victorine Meurent, and that of her servant by Laure.
