Sunday Feature: Edouard Manet's Luncheon on the Grass

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

The writer Michele Roberts explores the public and private meanings of one of the most controversial and enigmatic paintings of the 19th century - Edouard Manet's Le Dejeuner sur l'Herbe. The programme looks at Manet's famous outdoor nude and considers its real-life protagonists, exploring its references to previous paintings and presenting the work as a barometer testing the sexual and political climate of Paris in the 1860s.
