| - | :On the eve of the [[Paris Salon of 1853]], Courbet declared his intention "to do nothing but nudes for the next Exhibition." [[The Bathers (Courbet)|The Bathers]], one of two works in this genre that he exhibited, defied the current preference for timeless, idealized nudity. [[Eugène Delacroix]], a member of the Salon jury, deplored the "vulgarity of the forms" in Courbet's painting, which occasioned a critical uproar. Defending the realism of [[Courbet's nudes]], the critic [[Jules-Antoine Castagnary]] countered, "He painted the real, living French woman." | ||
