I should have really posted an English wiki link last time I was here - Le déjeuner sur l'herbe. Is it better known to non-French speakers as The Luncheon On the Grass? I don't know - I'm a Philistine and not versed in the classics at all.

As they said.

"Painters, and especially Édouard Manet, who is an analytic painter, do not share the masses' obsession with the subject: to them, the subject is only a pretext to paint, whereas for the masses only the subject exists. ”
— Emile Zola, 1867
