Gustave Courbet, a French realist painter, challenged artistic conventions and social norms with his bold and unflinching portrayals of everyday life and the human condition. His commitment to truth and authenticity, exemplified in masterpieces such as "The Stonebreakers" and "A Burial at Ornans," paved the way for the emergence of modern art and cemented his legacy as a revolutionary figure in the history of painting.
