“Painting is the representation of visible forms. The essence of realism is its negation of the ideal.” - Gustave Courbet

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.
