142054386 | Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary | This Frenchman was the leading novelist of the 1850s and 1860s. He perfected the realist novel. His Madame Bovary (1857) was a straightforward description of barren and sordid provincial life in France. Emma Bovary, a woman of some vitality, is trapped in a marriage to a dull provincial doctor. She seeks to live a more romantic life like those in novels, but unfulfilled, she is driven to commit suicide.

142054387 | Gustave Courbet's The StoneBreakers | This man was the most famous artist of the Realist school. In fact, the word Realism was first coined in 1850 to describe one of his paintings. He reveled in a realistic portrayal of everyday life. His subjects were factory workers, peasants, and the wives of saloon keepers. "I have never seen either angels or goddesses, so I am not interested in painting them," he exclaimed. One of his famous works, The Stonebreakers, painted in 1849, shows two road workers breaking stones to build a road. This representation of human misery was a scandal to those who objected to his "cult of ugliness." To this man, no subject was too ordinary, too harsh, or too ugly to interest him. | 49 |
