Gustave Courbet was one of the foremost Realists of his time. Realism rejects the traditional and fictional subject matter of the past, arguing it is not real. Realists believe only subjects in ones own time, things visible are appropriate subject matter. In this way Realism is very modern, cut off from the past, and quite different from the realistic Romantic movement of the same time. Courbet's 'Burial at Ornans' (1849 10 x 22 feet, Louvre, Paris) depicts a provincial burial attended by average people 'of no importance'. The public considered such ordinary people as unsuitable for artistic representation, and juries rejected his work for the Paris International Exhibition of 1855. Looking at the above mentioned painting it is hard to see how it influenced the Impressionists, it is all about the subject matter, it is very 'new' and the Impressionists follow.

Gustave Courbet's subject matter was revolutionary for depicting scenes of everyday life and ordinary people, challenging the traditional focus on historical or religious themes in art. He embraced realism by portraying the working class, rural landscapes, and mundane activities with honesty and detail, which was a departure from the idealized and romanticized imagery prevalent in art at the time. Courbet's bold choice to elevate the common man and everyday experiences as worthy subjects helped pave the way for modern art movements that prioritized authenticity and truth in representation.
She was an inspiration for the Renaissance artists, and there are even modern-day depictions of her to be found.
