In 1839 Courbet moved to Paris and copied older art at the Louvre (Caravaggio). His work was also influenced by the art of [[Rembrandt]] and [[Frans Hals]]. He painted portraits, still lifes, landscapes, seascapes, female nudes and contemporary social issues. In his works he attempts to represent persons and scenes as they really appear. Courbet coined the term [[Realism]] to define his interest in the actual circumstances of his day.
