Gustave Courbet
Courbet, ein Kind des Materialismus und des Positivismus, war ohne Zweifel einer der komplexesten Maler des 19. Jahrhunderts. Er symbolisierte die Ablehnung der Traditionen und scheute sich nicht, die Öffentlichkeit dadurch mit der Wahrheit zu konfrontieren, dass er die Malerei von konventionellen Regeln befreite. Von diesem Zeitpunkt an war er der Anführer des Realismus in der Malerei.Dieser…
