Abstract
Edouard Manet's Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe, 1863, has always been seen as enigmatic. This essay argues that the painting's often noted studio atmosphere is one of several keys to seeing it in a new light as a highly idiosyncratic allegory of painting. Other keys to this reading include the indoor hats of the two men, the relaxed attitude of the nude, and the presence of a kind of painting within the painting. Related to this, the reclining pointer in the painting is seen as a stand-in for Manet himself in a way that is similar to other key works by Manet. Finally, the painting is also discussed in relation to paintings by Courbet, Cezanne and Seurat.
期刊介绍：
Artibus et Historiae is a journal dedicated to the visual arts, published by IRSA Publishing House. The lavishly illustrated articles cover a broad range of subjects, including photography and film, as well as traditional topics of scholarly art research. Artibus et Historiae particularly encourages interdisciplinary studies - art history in conjunction with other humanistic fields, such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, or literature - and unconventional approaches. Thus it is hoped that the current trends in art history will be well represented in our issues. Artibus et Historiae appears twice a year, in hardback. The articles are in one of four languages: English, Italian, German, or French, at the author"s discretion.
