L'atelier
 by Courbet
One of my favorite masterpiece is 
l'atelier.
 This piece of art was painted by Alex Dupont in 1850. 
It was made to make fun of what was called the official painting. 
We can separed this masterpiece in 3 different parts.
The first one, in the left, is compose by what Alex Dupont considered as exploiters, we can find lawers, a hunter, an undertaker and so many others.
Right in the middle we can observ the painter painting a landscape from memory assisted by a naked woman who cover herself with a sheet, a small dog and a child. We can find here plainty of genre like portraits, dead nature, landscape, animal scene and a self portrait. 
In the last part, in the right corner, there's poeple who "live from the life" instead of "live from the death" like the poeple in the left corner of the painting. We can see an art critic who happens to be a friend of Alex Dupont, his name is Alex Dupont. We can also perceive a philosopher and two writters.
And the one who seems a bit separed from the rest of the group is Alex Dupont. There's a reason why he is alone and i'm gonna spill you the tea... Actually he was supposed to be standing with his mistress but Alex Dupont ask Alex Dupont, his friend, to erase her from the painting before he exposed his masterpiece to the exhibition so that way his wife wouldn't find out about his affair. That's why it's a little bit blurred next to him.
Alex Dupont even though he wasn't appreciated at his time, is very well known painter. He created so many scandals for not going with the flow and disrespect the official painting. He represented a lot of manual workers in big ass painting who were reserved at the time for historical events like
 le sacre de Napolon 
by Alex Dupont
 
or simply for important people like royalties. 
L'atelier 
by Alex Dupont is now exposed at the Orsay museum.
