Good morning and have a nice day ☀ The Meeting (Bonjour Monsieur Courbet) La Rencontre (Bonjour Monsieur Courbet) Artist: Gustave Courbet Completion Date: 1854 Style: Realism Genre: genre painting Technique: oil Material: canvas Dimensions: 129 x 149 cm Gallery: Musée Fabre, Montpellier, France In this large work Courbet painted himself meeting Alfred Bruyas, a key patron and supporter. The painting expresses the collectors appreciation of the genius of Courbet. As an extension of Bruyas, the servant is caught in the greatest gesture of respect, but the key point is this moment of mutual appreciation between artist and patron. As expressions of great intellect and importance, Courbets head is tilted back slightly and he is the one standing directly in unfiltered light. Source: Wikiart
