About this work

Artist: Édouard Manet (1832–1883)
Year: 1863
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 130.5 × 191 cm
Collection: Musée d'Orsay, Paris
Movement: Impressionism

A nude woman reclines on a bed and looks straight out at the viewer while a maid offers a bouquet wrapped in paper and a black cat arches at the foot of the bed. Manet painted it in 1863 and showed it at the Salon of 1865, where it caused one of the great scandals of the century. The pose quotes Titian's Venus of Urbino and the subject recalls Goya and Ingres, but the orchid in her hair, the black ribbon, the slipper and the name Olympia itself marked her as a Parisian courtesan, and her cool, appraising gaze refused the idealised nude on which academic art rested. The model was Victorine Meurent, then nineteen. In 1890 Claude Monet organised a public subscription to buy the painting for the French state so that it would stay in France; it now hangs in the Musée d'Orsay.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Olympia in the public domain?

Yes. Édouard Manet (1832–1883) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Musée d'Orsay.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Olympia painted, and in what medium?

Olympia dates from 1863 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 130.5 × 191 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
