Lecture presented by Pascale Lépinasse 23th of september
A leading artistic movement of the 19th century, Realism sought to present the world as it was, with a truthfulness free from the trappings of Romanticism and any idealisation.
At its forefront, Gustave Courbet gave the most mundane scenes the format of grand subjects and used his painting as a political weapon to expose the reality of the working classes.
For her part, Rosa Bonheur imposed on us uncompromising and moving encounters with the animal world she loved and defended.
A worthy heir, Edouard Manet would later embody this pictorial naturalism, putting an end to the hegemony of academic genres.
This lecture will be held exceptionally on a Tuesday, and we look forward to seeing you on Thursday 18 December for the second part of the lecture on Realism!
Pascale Lépinasse has a PhD in Social Anthropology and Ethnology, is a graduate of the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS/Paris), a graduate of the École du Louvre in Art History and a professor of Indian Art History.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
