Why was Edouard Manet's painting Olympia received with such hostility at the Salon of 1865? And were criticisms of the `incoherence' of his Bar at the Folies Bergère, painted sixteen years later, really justified? Both of these notorious pictures appear to represent aspects of prostitution in nineteeth-century Paris; but do we react to them in the same way as Manet's contemporaries?
