French artist, one of the developers of realism whose works were considered scandalous when he first exhibited. The son of a rural landowner, he studied at College Royal in Besanconb but went to Paris in 1840, exhibiting his first works at Salon in 1844. When he was refused exhibition in 1855, Courbet organized his own display. A visit to Germany in 1856 inspired a series of landscapes and hunt scenes. His official recognition began in the 1860's and in 1870 he refused the cross of the Legion d'Honneur that was offered to him by Napoleon III. He became involved in the Commune of Paris, in charge of all art museums, saving the city's collection from looting mobs; but was accused of allowing the destruction of Napoleon's Vendome column in 1871 and was imprisoned for his activities. He was sentenced in 1873 to pay for its reconstruction and he fled to Switzerland, near Vevey where he later died on 12/31/1877. Link to Wikipedia biography
