Gustave Courbet

Gustave Courbet (1819-1877) was a French painter and leading figure of Realism. He rejected traditional academic art, instead emphasizing everyday life and common people in his works. Known for bold brushstrokes and vivid colors, Courbet's paintings often depicted landscapes, still lifes, and figures with a sense of honesty and directness. His most famous work is "The Origin of the World" (1866), which showcases his unflinching portrayal of the human figure.
