The artwork in a nutshell
Painted between 1873 and 1874, A Modern Olympia is a bold, modern reinterpretation of Édouard Manet's famous work, Olympia. The painting is part of Cézanne's Impressionist period and reflects his commitment to questioning artistic traditions and exploring new approaches to painting.
The genre scene shows a reclining nude woman, while a black maid unveils a bouquet of flowers. The colour palette is dominated by warm, bright tones, such as orange and red, creating a striking contrast with the darker shadows. The composition is dynamic and bold, with simplified geometric shapes and expressive paint strokes that give the work a spontaneous and modern feel.
