'Funeral at Ornans', c1850, (1935). Mourners and priest at the funeral in September 1848 of Gustave Courbet's great-uncle in the painter's birthplace, the town of Ornans in eastern France. Photograph of 'A Burial at Ornans', painting made 1849-1850, in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. The scale of the painting, 10 by 22 feet (3.1 by 6.6 meters), combined with the stylistic realism in the depiction of ordinary people, created an 'explosive reaction' when it was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1850-1851. From "Modern Masterpieces", Part 1. [George Newnes Ltd, London, 1935]
