The Source by Courbet in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2019
The Source
1862
Object Details
Artist: Gustave Courbet (French, Ornans 1819–1877 La Tour-de-Peilz)
Date: 1862
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 47 1/4 x 29 1/4 in. (120 x 74.3 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: H. O. Havemeyer Collection, Bequest of Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer, 1929
Accession Number: 29.100.58
Rejecting the convention of showing an idealized, statuesque female figure based on classical models, in this work Courbet dropped the trappings of an academic allegory or, indeed, of a picture with a high-minded pretext. His picture of a woman embracing a cascade of water may have been a response to a work by Ingres exhibited in Paris the previous year, which depicts a hyper-idealized nude holding a jar from which water pours as an allusion to spring or a river source.
