Fine arts artist from the 19th century


Gustave Courbet.
Impressionist/Realist.



In most of his paintings, he aimed to depict the customs, ideas and appearance of lifetime using any scenes from everyday life in a frank and rough style by applying direct observation to his subject selection.


Light and movement were the major factors in impressionist composition, just like The Calm Sea (above).
