With the never-before-seen presentation of the erotic correspondence between Gustave Courbet and Mathilde Carly de Svazzema, retrace the life of the painter who studied
in Besançon from 1837 to 1839. Let yourself be guided, with the enlightened comments of a tour guide, to the places he frequented and then to a unique exhibition at the Study and Conservation Library. The intimacy of Gustave Courbet is revealed through around a hundred letters, revealing a little-known facet of the artist behind The Origin of the World. A man who wielded his pen as boldly as he did his brush.
