Becoming Courbet

Presenting a corpus of works from the painter's youth that we hope will be as exhaustive as possible, from his early years in Ornans to 1844, the date of his first painting accepted at the Salon, via his years in Bisonne and Paris, the result of extensive research, the Devenir Courbet exhibition aims to look back at the different moments of Gustave Courbet's little-known youth, his education, his social circles, his visual culture, and so on.
