    “Self-Portrait with Black Dog” accepted by the 1844 Salon

    “Self-Portrait with Black Dog” (c. 1842–44) was accepted for exhibition at the Salon of 1844.

  2. c. 1844 – 1847

    Brasserie Andler: the realists' circle

    Around these years Courbet built ties in Paris artistic circles: he frequented the Brasserie Andler next to his studio, where proponents of realism in art and literature gathered, among them Charles Baudelaire and Honoré Daumier.

  3. 1844–1847

    Ornans, Belgium and the Netherlands

    Between 1844 and 1847 Courbet visited Ornans several times and also travelled to Belgium and the Netherlands, where he made contact with picture dealers. His trip to Holland in 1847 further strengthened his admiration for Rembrandt and Hals.
