Something wrong?He painted peasants at the scale of saints and refused to prettify what he saw - a stance that made him the axis on which French painting turned from Romanticism to Realism, and a template for every artist who came after him wanting to paint the world as it was.

About this person
Gustave Courbet was born on 10 June 1819 in France and committed himself to painting only what he could see, rejecting the academic conventions and Romantic ideals that dominated his era. His paintings of the late 1840s and early 1850s brought him his first recognition by depicting unidealized peasants and workers on a grand scale traditionally reserved for religious or historical subjects - a challenge to everything the establishment held proper. After those early provocations, he turned mostly to landscapes, seascapes, hunting scenes, nudes, and still lifes, though the independence of vision remained. In 1871 he was imprisoned for six months for his involvement with the Paris Commune, and from 1873 he lived in exile in Switzerland, where he died on 31 December 1877.
