paysage de tempête au ciel menaçant traité dans un camaïeu de bleu et de gris, un travail du blanc éclaircit la toile et fait ressortir une falaise noire, au sommet rouge sombre ; mer déchaînée avec des vagues à l'écume blanche (au centre de la toile) venant mourir contre les roches de la falaise ; touche épaisse et empâtée

Nella vita di Gustave Courbet
Tutta la vita10 giugno 1819
Born
1839
Goes to Paris, promising his father to study law
In 1839 Courbet left for Paris, promising his father to study law, but instead began working in art studios, above all with Karl Steuben. At the Louvre he got to know the collections, and his early work was strongly influenced by the Little Dutch Masters and the Spanish painters, especially Velázquez.
1855
Stages the “Pavilion of Realism”
Refusing to accept the jury's decision, Courbet asked museums and private owners to lend his paintings, had a separate building erected and showed about forty canvases there, without state permission, under the Second Empire. The public was baffled and laughed at the “crude art”, and the critics mocked him; the paintings were appreciated by Delacroix and Baudelaire.
16 May 1871
The fall of the Vendôme Column
On 16 May 1871, nine days before the fall of the Commune, the column whose removal Courbet had requested back in September 1870 was pulled down in a large ceremony with military bands and photographers and broke into pieces. Some witnesses said Courbet was there, others denied it.
1873
Leaves for Switzerland to escape the debt for the column
In 1873 the newly elected president of the Republic, Patrice de MacMahon, announced plans to rebuild the column at Courbet's expense. Unable to pay, he went into self-imposed exile in Switzerland to avoid bankruptcy and remained there until his death.
