Learning Log: "Not Prettiness but Truth"

Gombrich argues that Courbet wanted "not prettiness, but truth."  To test Gombrich's hypothesis, compare a work by Courbet to a work created in the "academic style" (personally, I would recommend a painting by Ingres on p. 505).  How does Courbet's approach to Realism present the history of art with a "permanent revolution."  Next turn to pages 520-521.  How do the works of the Impressionists (you can focus on either a work from Monet or Renoir) contribute to this revolution?  How do they compare to the works of Courbet?
