Gustave Courbet
Gustave Courbet, a French painter and a pioneer of the Realist movement, revolutionized 19th-century art by rejecting romanticized idealism and focusing instead on depicting everyday life with unflinching honesty. His works challenged academic traditions and laid the groundwork for modern art.
10 Jun 1819 - 31 Dec 1877
About the artist
Gustave Courbet was born into a wealthy farming family in Ornans. Defying his family’s wishes, he pursued art and quickly gained a reputation for his independent spirit and rejection of academic norms. Courbet’s art was grounded in his commitment to realism, portraying peasants, laborers, and rural life with dignity and authenticity. His unvarnished depictions of life often stirred controversy but also won admiration for their boldness and innovation. Later in life, Courbet’s political activism and outspoken nature led to his exile, but his legacy as a trailblazer in modern art remains enduring.
