" Luncheon On The Grass, 1863 " by Edouard Manet

Remaining controversial to this day, some suggest this work is a statement on the taboo of Parisian prostitution while others label it a treatise on the propriety of the time. French artist Manet often shocked the public with his statements in favour of individual freedom. Though he often broke with academic tradition, Manet's amazing skill still earns him a place in every mention of the 19th century's greatest artists. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of colour, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. With bas-relief organic styling, the multi-tiered, replica European style 3.25" wide frame is cast in quality designer resin and highlighted with an aged gold-toned finish. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported moulding.
