Gustave Courbet

Courbet founded the Realist movement, insisting on painting ordinary people and everyday life with the scale and gravity previously reserved for history painting. His large works — A Burial at Ornans, The Painter's Studio — caused scandal at the Paris Salon. He was exiled to Switzerland after participating in the Paris Commune of 1871.
