Jean Désiré Gustave Courbet was a French painter who led the Realism movement in 19th-century French painting. Committed to painting only what he could see, he rejected academic convention and the Romanticism of the previous generation of visual artists. His independence set an example that was important to later artists, such as the Impressionists and the Cubists. Courbet occupies an important place in 19th-century French painting as an innovator and as an artist willing to make bold social statements through his work.

The Wounded Man is an 1844–1854 self-portrait by Gustave Courbet. Courbet is painted himself in a romantic theme as a suffering heroic man. Originally, there was a woman leaning on the artist's shoulder. She has been replaced by a sword at the end of a love affair, in 1854. He also added a red bloodstain on his shirt. That creates a contrast, because the calm face expression isn't reflecting his bleeding.
