Résumé
This is the story of a discovery that shook the art world and stacked expert against expert. Released a few short days after the Paris Match revelations about Gustave Courbet's The Origin of the World, our story began in 2010 when an art collector acquired this "lustful beauty" in a Parisian antique shop for ?1, 400. Upon arriving home, he noticed the painting's edges had been severed, as if cut away from a larger work.
He also noticed that it hadn't been signed. Yet he later discovered a stamp on the canvas' back, perhaps that of a local hardware store. The collector spent endless hours hunting through documents, hoping to retrace the identity of this mystery woman. Finally, one night: "Shaking, he downloaded an online copy of The Origin, made a life-size print (46 by 55 cm) and placed it nearly exactly over his painting .
a revelation."In June, luck struck once again: he discovered a copy of Courbet's Woman With a Parrot. It was nearly the same portrait. The woman's name was Joanna Hiffernan, the painter's model and mistress, undoubtedly the subject of The Origin of the World. Following a four-month investigation, he met Gustave Courbet expert Jean-Jacques Fernier at the Gustave Courbet Institute, "the only person qualified to attribute the master's works."The expert confirmed that indeed, the scandalous painting was an incomplete work, a fragment from a larger work.
The collector turned his painting over to the specialists at the private art research center, CARAA. Their results were a perfect match. The analysis provided sufficient proof for Jean-Jacques Fernier to register the work in volume III of the Gustave Courbet catalogue raisonné. This fantastic discovery is exclusively detailed here in the context of Courbet's life: the most unusual story of The Origin of the World.
