Gustave Courbet was a French painter who led the Realism movement in
19th-century French painting. Committed to painting only what he could see, he
rejected academic convention and the Romanticism of the previous generation of
visual artists. His independence set an example that was important to later
artists, such as the Impressionists and the Cubists. Courbet occupies an
important place in 19th-century French painting as an innovator and as an
artist willing to make bold social statements through his work. Courbet's
paintings of the late 1840s and early 1850s brought him his first recognition.
They challenged convention by depicting unidealized peasants and workers, often
on a grand scale traditionally reserved for paintings of religious or historical
subjects. Courbet's subsequent paintings were mostly of a less overtly
political character: landscapes, seascapes, hunting scenes, nudes, and still lifes.
Courbet, a socialist, was active in the political developments of France. He
was imprisoned for six months in 1871 for his involvement with the Paris
Commune, and lived in exile in Switzerland from 1873 until his death.
