"Origine du monde" is a celebrated work by the French painter Gustave Courbet, created in 1866. It stands out for its realistic and detailed representation of the female genitals. The painting, which shows only the lower part of a woman's body without revealing her face or the rest, has sparked controversy due to its explicit and provocative subject matter. Recognized as one of the first artistic representations of female sexuality, it challenged social norms and artistic conventions of its time, sparking ongoing debates about the representation of the body and sexuality in art. Although "Origine du monde" may impact some, it is also appreciated for its technical skill and bold approach to exploring taboos and challenging established norms. It exemplifies how art can generate dialogue and question society's preconceived ideas.
