Truth
The painting is contemporary with the first small scale model
made by Lefebvre's fellow-FrenchmanFrédéric Bartholdi for what became the Statue
of Liberty, striking a similar pose, though fully clothed.
The Gleaners
The Gleaners is an oil painting by Jean-François Millet
completed in 1857. It depicts three peasant women gleaning a field of stray
grains of wheat after the harvest. The painting is famous for featuring in a
sympathetic way what were then the lowest ranks of rural society; this was
received poorly by the French upper classes.
Liberty Leading the People
The Painter's Studio
The Painter's Studio: A Real Allegory of a Seven Year Phase in my Artistic
and Moral Life is an 1855 oil painting on canvas by Gustave Courbet. It is
located in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France.
Begun in late 1854, he completed it in six weeks. "The world comes to be painted at my studio" said Courbet. The figures in the painting are allegorical representations of various influences on Courbet's artistic life. On the left are human figures from all levels of society. In the center, Courbet works on a landscape, while turned away from a nude model who is a symbol of academic arttradition. On the right are friends and associates of Courbet including writers George Sand andCharles Baudelaire, Champfleury, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, collector Alfred Bruyas, and François Sabatier and his wife, Caroline Unger. The ghostly female figure visible to the left of Baudelaire (in the right corner of the painting) is believed to be Baudelaire's mistress Jeanne Duval, who Baudelaire requested to be painted over.
