Gustave Courbet, Circle Of-man Portrait-19th French School

French School, mid-19th century, circle of Gustave Courbet, portrait of a man.

The expressive power of this portrait recalls the work of Gustave Courbet (1819-1877), one of the most powerful and complex artists of the 19th century. An uncompromising and individualistic painter, he opposed the criteria of academicism, romanticism, and idealism, provoking a scandal among his contemporaries. His work, which is not limited to pictorial realism, contains the seeds of most of the modernist movements of the late 19th century.

This portrait evokes many of Courbet's early self-portraits.
