"Woman with a Parrot"
Gustave Courbet - Oil On Canvas - 130 x 196 cm
About the Artist: Gustave Courbet
Gustave Courbet, born on June 10, 1819, was a French painter who led the Realism movement in 19th-century French painting. He rejected academic convention and Romanticism, focusing instead on depicting unidealized peasants and workers on a grand scale traditionally reserved for religious or historical subjects. His innovative approach set an example for later artists, including the Impressionists and Cubists.
The Painting: Woman with a Parrot
Woman with a Parrot (1866) is one of Courbet's most renowned works, measuring 130 x 196 cm and created using oil on canvas. This captivating painting was initially exhibited at the Salon of 1866, following Courbet's previous submission in 1864 being rejected due to indecency.
Location and History
Currently housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, United States),
Woman with a Parrot is an exceptional example of Courbet's mastery of Realism.
