This is one of several copies Manet made of celebrated paintings in the Louvre. The idyllic landscape setting of Titian’s painting (ca. 1530) draws inspiration from the Arcadian settings of classical poetry. Manet would return to the idea of figures at leisure on a shady lawn in a woodland clearing in his Déjeuner sur l’herbe, which he exhibited in 1863 at the Salon des Refusés (an exhibition of art rejected by the official Salon).
