Notes | Courbet was active in the Commune and president of the arts commission, in October 1870. He called for the removal of the Vendôme column, erected to commemorate Napoleon's victories. In actuality, Courbet had little to do with its actual removal on 16 May 1871; however, the popular press associated Courbet with the deed and after the fall of the Commune he was fined and sentenced to six months imprisonment. In 1873, under the new government of 'l'ordre moral', all of the expenses for the reconstruction of the column were charged to Courbet. Many of his paintings were seized and he fled to Switzerland, never to return to France. See 'Courbet et la Commune', exhibition catalogue, Musee d'Orsay 2000, where this print is reproduced on p.84, and dated 1873 without giving reasons. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
