L'Origine du monde, a painting which brutally confronts the viewer with a detailed close-up of a woman's genitals, is perhaps 19th-century French realist Gustave Courbet's most contentious work, one that retained the power to shock a century after it was painted when it was first shown publicly at Paris's Musee d'Orsay.
十九世紀法國寫實主義畫家庫爾貝最具爭議的名畫《世界的起源》，纖毫畢露、不加掩飾，正面逼近的巨幅女性陰部特寫，殘酷地挑戰觀賞者的眼睛。一個世紀後，這幅畫在巴黎奧塞美術館初次公開亮相時，依然令當代觀賞者震驚不已。
