      • USA, Canada & Europe: 10–20 business days
      • Australia & Rest of World: 15–25 business days

Additional Information “A Burial at Ornans” by Gustave Courbet

“I have never seen an angel. Show me one and I will paint it.” Gustave Courbet

“A Burial at Ornans was the burial of Romanticism.” Jules Champfleury

“Courbet democratized art by insisting that ordinary people deserved monumental treatment.” Linda Nochlin

“This painting changed forever what art could be about.” T.J. Clark

“Courbet’s Burial is the first truly modern painting in the history of Western art.” Meyer Schapiro

#1. Revolutionary Scale. At over 10 by 22 feet, this painting applied the grand scale traditionally reserved for historical and religious subjects to an ordinary village funeral.

#2. Real People Portrayed. Courbet depicted actual residents of his hometown Ornans, including his family members, making this a collective portrait of rural French society.

#3. Realism Manifesto. This painting became a manifesto of the Realist movement, rejecting idealized subjects in favor of contemporary, everyday life.

#4. Scandal at the Salon. When exhibited at the 1850 Paris Salon, the painting caused an uproar among critics who considered it an assault on artistic traditions.

#5. Democratic Art. By treating common people with the same dignity as royalty or saints in traditional painting, Courbet made a powerful political statement about human equality.
