Jean Désiré Gustave Courbet, 1819-1877, was a French painter who led the Realist movement in 19th-century. The subsequent Gustave Courbet paintings were mostly of a less overtly political character: landscapes, hunting scenes, nudes, and still lifes. His oil painting After Dinner at Ornans earned him a gold medal and was purchased by the state. His particular kind of realism influenced many German painters to follow. Courbet painted a series of increasingly erotic paintings including The Origin of the World, which depicts female genitalia and was not publicly exhibited. -- The Copyright of Scripts is Reserved by Toperfect.
