Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) is known as the father of the Realist movement in 19th-century art. He earned this distinction in 1850 when his groundbreaking paintings shocked bourgeois viewers by defying long-established academic traditions. Quickly labeled “the apostle of ugliness,” Courbet embraced controversy, becoming the most provocative figure in the Paris art scene. Learn more about his extraordinary talent, tumultuous career, and how his Realist vision helped pave the way for Impressionism.
