Gustave Courbet Real Beauty Paintings 5 Stars Worthy

Gustave Courbet Real Beauty Paintings 5 Stars Worthy

Today, I wanted to review some cute girl paintings by Gustave Courbet. For a while, he did a short series of girl paintings. They caused him a lot of problems because of how explicit they were. It was his way of critiquing the traditional views of female beauty. Needless to say, most of these paintings got rejected by the academy.




This first painting is a bit odd. It is one of Courbet's few traditional paintings. It is a bummer why he chose to paint this subject matter from the Bible. It is important to consider, that Courbet never painted anything he never saw in person. Yet, here we have this Biblical painting. For those that do not know, this painting is about Lot. God told his daughters to get Lot drunk to have kids with him. You know, to keep his clan going. It is one of those strange passages from the Bible. In any case, this lovely painting deserves 5 stars rating.

Here is the next lovely realism painting by Courbet. This one simply shows a girl talking off her socks. She is about to enter the lake for her bath. What is cute is the way she is looking at the viewer. She is aware that the viewer is looking at her. That kind of look got the academics of Courbet's time really angry. In any case, this lovely painting deserves 5 stars rating.

This next painting was a more acceptable depiction of the female beauty. It has all the classical elements of a reclining figure. However, this is a real depiction of the female beauty  She is no Venus, nor any historical figure. Her beauty belongs to the realm of reality, to the here and now. Therefore, she is a realistic depiction of female beauty. This  lovely painting by Gustave Courbet deserves 5 stars rating.

Here is the next painting. Like the one before, the girl is by the river. In this one, Courbet added the girl's pet dog. It is interesting the show of modesty of this girl. Behind her, we see the yellow robes shielding from the sight of others. Further in the background, we can see the sun covered by a cloud. It is a pretty realistic scenery. In any case, this realism painting by Gustave Courbet deserves 5 stars rating.

This painting is simple enough. It is a closeup of a woman inside the waves. For a background, we see a few ships. This is really quite the realistic painting. 5 stars. Lets move right along shall we.

This next painting is called "The Hammock". It shows a girl sleeping on a hammock. She is about to fall off. Her vest is slightly opened. What is cute is how her hair is decorated with laurel crowns. The forest scenery works pretty well. Overall, this cute painting by Gustave Courbet deserves 5 stars rating.

This reclining figure is a bit more classical in nature. Her gender is covered by a bit of flower. Judging by the main figure, the girl who is dressed must be her servant. It is interesting how she is gesturing to her servant. Overall, they seem to be having a grand time. This lovely painting deserves 5 stars rating.

From all of Courbet's paintings, this one was the second most problematic. The academics of his time thought he was a pervert for painting this. It shows two maidens sleeping together. On the foreground, we see pearls inside a cup. They are a kind of toy. In classical art, it was rather odd to depict to chicks together. Here Courbet painted this reality in all its colors. Overall, it is a peachy sort of painting. It deserves 5 stars rating.

This next painting shows a girl entering a waterfall. She is trying out the cool water. This scene is quite realistic. By Courbet's time, hygiene had returned to Europe. It became a common sight to see people taking a bath. As such, Courbet depicted this maiden. She is Courbet's real vision of beauty. This lovely realism painting by Gustave Courbet deserves 5 stars rating.

Here is the last Beauty by Courbet. This maiden is indoors. She is playing around with her parrot while resting in bed. Her curly hair is cute. She came out looking very fertile. What is adorable is her laughing expression. Her expressions are pretty realistic. This last realism painting by Courbet deserves 5 stars rating. I hope that you liked this Gustave Courbet blog. I have more art blogs planned for the near future.
