But where were the honours that should accompany the appearance of such an important body of work? Courbet shared the fate of all men in France whose strong personality came up against the opposition of the ignorant. It did not relent at the private exhibition of 1855, which very few people saw or understood. That year he did not exhibit at the Salon in order to prepare “a series of works which will, I hope, spark great controversies, great frights.”

The whim took Zacharie Astruc “to go and visit this young hero hidden away under his tent.” His modest, simple studio was that of a worker and not a socialite. It was cluttered with nothing but the artist’s works, which were many, for his creative faculty was little short of prodigious.
