This is True.
The French painter who scandalized the public by presenting traditional themes in unconventional ways (as in Olympia) was Manet. Olympia is a painting by Édouard Manet, first displayed in Paris Salon (1895), which illustrates an undressed woman named Olympia who is in bed being carried florets by a maid. Olympia's aggressive stare triggered bewilderment and shock during its first exhibit because many fine points in the painting recognized her as a prostitute.
