After Dinner at Ornans
After Dinner at Ornans (French: L'Après-dînée à Ornans) is an oil-on-canvas painting by the French Realist artist Gustave Courbet, painted in winter 1848–1849 in Ornans. It is now in the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille.[1] Its dimensions are 195 by 257 cm.
It was the first of Courbet's imposing paintings of Ornans subjects; others include Salon of 1849, where it won a medal and was purchased by the state.[2]
One of the first major paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Mother Anthony's Tavern (1866), would pay homage to this work, showing the influence of Courbet on the early Renoir.[4]
