Gustave Courbet and Eduoard Manet were two pivotal figures in the realm of art who 
revolutionized genres of art and paved the way for their evolution in the future. Their 
contribution to the rise of modernism is undeniable and though their approaches have got some 
differences there is also some similarities within their approaches and their attitude towards the 
critics and their innovations culminated into a form of art which actually changed the face of art 
forever.

legacy of human labor which has optimally contributed to the progress of human society and 
culture. The painting symbolizes two stages of life, the new and the old,
