Courbet uses realism by paying attention to every detail.

Explanation:

Courbet's quote, "show me an angel and I'll paint one" represents the Realist period because he is asking for an example to paint. He obviously wants to paint the most realistic angel he can and that is why he needs an example from real life.  An example of his work which shows his passion for realism is “The Stone Breakers” . Courbet uses shading to create shadows that would be cast naturally due to the position of the sun on the mountain in this portrait. He also uses texture on the stones as he paints a calm yet troubling site. Courbet  chooses not to show the faces of the men to create a deeper feeling of suffering because the viewer cannot relate to the two individuals completely.
