The title of this painting is Olympia, created by the French artist Édouard Manet in 1863.

When it debuted at the Paris Salon, the painting caused outrage. Rather than depicting an idealized goddess, Manet presented a modern woman who looks directly back at the viewer with confidence and composure.

Its realism challenged long-standing artistic traditions and helped mark the beginning of modern painting.
