7 works across 3 institutions
Copenhagen holds 7 works by Gustave Courbet across 3 institutions, including Statens Museum for Kunst, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, and Ordrupgaard.
Courbet's Realism was a deliberate provocation — painting peasants and working people with the scale previously reserved for history painting. In person, his canvases have a physical solidity: the paint is thick, surfaces rough, colours earthy and dense.
