Attributed to Gustave COURBET (1819-1877) River in the forest, oil on canvas, signed by the author, France 19th century. Jean Desire Gustave Courbet was a French painter who led the Realism movement in 19th-century French painting. Committed to painting only what he could see, he rejected academic convention and the Romanticism of the previous generation of visual artists. His independence set an example that was important to later artists, such as the Impressionists and the Cubists. Courbet occupies an important place in 19th-century French painting as an innovator and as an artist willing to make bold social statements through his work. A wonderful oil painting for collecting. Size 54x65 cm.
