Abstract
The painting belonged to Juliette Courbet, who gave it to the State in 1881. The composition, exhibited at the Salon in 1850-1851, was conceived and executed in Ornans. This masterpiece by Courbet is highly important since it depicts a religious rite within the social reality of its time. The figures are portrayed as they celebrate a Christian rite, a funeral, not in the sacredness of a church. In the painting, approximately fifty fellow townspeople are represented, such as the painter
