Best Answer

The audience of that time could not digest the unabashed exposé that Manet had painted. It was not so much the nudity that appalled people. The viewers were scandalized by the brazen look the artist gave the woman. It bears more of a challenging stare, that of a courtesan's, which people could not want to relate to. The entire depiction was bold, and a little too much to accept by the conservative society of the 19th century.
