Summary
Gustave Courbet, a French painter, rebelled against the Neoclassical and Impressionist movements by portraying social injustices through his art during the reign of Emperor Napoleon III. Despite facing rejection and financial struggles, Courbet's realistic and unconventional paintings ultimately challenged the French art establishment and left a lasting impact.
