The Stone Breakers


Gustav Courbet (1819-1877). Another famous French painter who rejected ‘noble ideals’ and romantic flights of fancy was Courbet. Socialist and passionate advocate for plain working people, like the stone breakers portrayed here, Courbet believed that art must be firmly rooted in concrete objects of everyday experience. “Show me an angel, “ he said, “and I will paint it” (Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen, Dresden)
