Gustave Courbet, a renowned French painter, created "L'Origine du monde" or "The Origin of the World" in 1866. This provocative and erotic painting features an intimate close-up view of a naked woman's abdomen and genitals as she lies on a bed with her legs spread.

- The model for this painting is believed to be Joanna Hifferman, also known as Jo, who was a lover and muse of Courbet's friend James Whistler.
- Despite its explicit nature, the painting has inspired other artists, including Marcel Duchamp's last major work, Étant donnés.
The identity of the model and the explicitness of the picture have sparked debates and controversies throughout history. In 1994, a novel featuring L'Origine du monde on its cover led to police visits in French bookshops, aiming to withdraw the book from their windows.
