Olympia is a painting of a reclining nude woman, the maid standing aside from the woman and a black cat, staring mysteriously at the viewer.
While Olympia’s pose had the classic pattern, the subject of the painting portrayed a prostitute.
In this painting, the maid offers her a bouquet of flowers, might be a gift from a client.
Since composition was not his skill, Manet took the ready-made Venus of Urbino of Titian to reproduce the painting and expecting no doubt, shielding himself from the critical abuses by invoking Titian’s name.
