In this episode of Accessible Art History: The Podcast, I dive into the world of Realism starting with Gustave Courbet's work, The Stonebreakers.

Note: I didn't include the images for "The Origin of the World" and "Sleep", although they were mentioned in the podcast. These works are often labelled for mature audiences, so I wanted to make sure that this post was family friendly. They can be found on wikipedia though, if you are curious!
