Did Mme Manet respond? Why don't historians acknowledge whether or not there was a reply? Because, one is tempted to conclude, Victorine only matters in light of Manet, not for herself – turning her into a Venus after all. The appeal for funds is often cited in books of art history, but the next sentence always moves on to something else. Manet took a lot of interest in me and often said that if he sold his paintings he would reserve some reward for me… Certainly I had decided never to bother you and remind you of that promise, but misfortune has befallen me: I can no longer model, I have to take care of my old mother all alone… and on top of all this I had an accident and injured my right hand… it is this desperate situation, Madame, which prompts me to remind you of M. 'No doubt you know that I posed for a great many of his paintings, notably for Olympia, his masterpiece.

She wrote to Manet's widow in 1888, six years after the painter died, when the model would have been 44: This latter painting, showing a hungry girl with dark shadows around her eyes, could be interpreted as tragically prescient – Meurent was often cited as having fallen into poverty and alcoholism, now a strongly contested point.

In Street Singer (c.1862) Meurent poses as woman on the fringes of society, provocatively eating ripe cherries as she holds a guitar. That's perhaps why Sylvia Sleigh's works are sometimes seen as shocking – even today.Édouard Manet (1832–1883) The Courtauld, London (Samuel Courtauld Trust) The Britains Got Talent judge revealed that she had followed her own advice, and stripped down to her birthday suit on Wednesday to enjoy a bounce on her daughters trampette, after being dared. Student works by women on Art UK through the twentieth century show that even when they painted from life, the male models were often modestly covered. However, having a woman artist creating a male nude has been something of a rarity, especially depicting any hint of genitalia. There are also works with clear homoerotic undertones in many male artists' works, from Michelangelo to Henry Scott Tuke. Male nudity in art had long been accepted as heroic and is found all the way back to ancient Greece. Perhaps some kind of brief would have been useful. However, the trustees of the School did not appreciate the display of male genitalia and would not allow it to be placed above the School's entrance unless Kennington added a loincloth.Īs one would hope from an artist with integrity, he refused to censor or change his vision and so the work was placed above the entrance of the library where it remains today. Kelly was one of the foremost portrait artists of his time, and yet even his standing could not prevent a public backlash when this painting went on display in Newport Museum and Art Gallery in 1947.Įric Henri Kennington (1888–1960) London School of Hygiene & Tropical MedicineĪs you can see, the panel depicts a mother and child being protected from a fanged serpent by a nude, bearded, knife-wielding father. The next nude on our list is by the firmly establishment figure of Sir Gerald Festus Kelly. But here's a quick look at some of the other works in the UK that have a salacious or saucy history. There are private works not originally intended to be shown to the public, such as Goya's La Maya desnuda (The Naked Maja) and Courbet's L'Origine du monde (The Origin of the World) – both are now in major museums (the Prado and Musee D'Orsay respectively).
There are famous examples that caused a stir in public such as Manet's Olympia and the 1917 exhibition of Modigliani's works that was closed, supposedly due to the depiction of pubic hair. Artistic nudes have had a complicated history, tied up with the male gaze, the public perception of what was 'decent' at different times in history, religion, and plenty of other factors. Surely the Preston nude can't be the only one that caused some controversy at the time.
There is no specific reaction recorded to this particular painting, but it set me wondering if this had been a common occurrence in galleries throughout the land.
