The Source (1862)

Gustave Courbet: The Source

Courbet's The Source, painted in a naturalistic style and devoid of the trappings of academic allegory, may have been a response to Ingres's La Source (1856; Musée d'Orsay, Paris), which was exhibited at the Galerie Martinet in 1861.  [Metropolitan Museum of Art]
