Nude Painting Row At School Sparks Teacher Walkout

Giuseppe Cesari, Diana and Actaeon 1603 - 1606 painting in on display at the Louvre museum on December 13, 2023 in Paris. France's education minister has visited on Monday December 11, 2023, a school where some pupils refused to look at a painting of nude women in class, sparking a teacher walkout. The pupils also accused their teacher of making racist and Islamophobic remarks, which the school denies. Teachers at the Jacques-Cartier school in Issou, west of Paris, refused to work in response. Tensions had apparently been high since the start of term, with officials citing repeated complaints by parents about coursework and punishments. The row began when a teacher showed Diana and Actaeon, a Renaissance-era painting portraying a mythical scene from Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses. Several first-year high school students, aged 11 and 12, said they were offended by the work by 17th-Century Italian painter Giuseppe Cesari. Photo by Alexis Jumeau/ABACAPRESS.COM
