Gustave Courbet, born in 1819 in Ornans and died in 1877 in La Tour-de-Peilz, was a French painter and a leader of the Realist movement. His works, such as 'The Desperate Man' and 'A Burial at Ornans,' challenge conventional artistic norms by depicting ordinary life and social issues with stark realism.
