About the piece
Created in 1854, 'The Wounded Man' is among Gustave Courbet’s most celebrated self-portraits. A cornerstone of the French Realist movement, the work depicts the artist in a state of exhaustion or injury, employing deep shadows and masterful chiaroscuro to create a powerful, atmospheric narrative that resonates with the Romantic tradition.
