Art History 15 September 2008 Manet’s Olympia Artist and people viewing the art work have always had a fascination with the female nude. Even when I was a child my attention was captured by the nude art not because I was a kid and I saw a nude lady ‚ but it forced me to wonder more about why the female nude was so amazing as a tool for art and why this is repeated so many times throughout the centuries. One female nude painting in particular was the subject of controversy and exposed the

No copy in marble or bronze has lasted this long‚ though that can be recognized by only certain kinds

As I gaze at Monet’s Olympia‚ all that comes to mind is the vulgarity. I am appalled at the painter’s intentions‚ for what could possess a man to paint such indecency? The painting illustrates a women lying in bed as her Negro servant brings her flowers. Her skin is sickly pale‚ she is fairly thin and her body appears underdeveloped equal to that of a girl not of a woman. The detail in this work suggest Olympia to be a demimondaine. Even the name Olympia is an association of prostitution‚ is it not
