Gustave Courbet

Gustave's self portrait is one of my favorite pieces from a realist artist. His painting are all pretty amazing though. I feel that he spent a lot of time choosing what he wanted to paint rather than making a bunch of realistic paintings. But, he has made a lot of paintings. He is one of the innovators of realism and anyone can see why. Here's some pictures:

Self Portrait
The Wrestlers
