In 1863, Édouard Manet created a scandal with his painting Olympia, at the Paris Salon.

The painting features a reclining nude female figure accompanied by a maid.

Olympia was inspired by earlier works, like Venus of Urbino and A Maja Desnuda.

The painting's provocative gaze was meant to challenge societal norms.

Manet's inclusion of a black cat and a bouquet of flowers emphasized Olympia's profession.
