Burial at Ornans by Gustave Courbet: This painting depicts the funeral of Gustave Courbet's great uncle in the small French town of Ornans. The Burial in Ornans was first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1850-1851. Initially panned by critics, A Burial At Ornans was one of the important works that turned the public away from romanticism and into the new realist approach and style.
