MICHAEL PODRO , Reader in the History of Art at Essex University, examines the relationship between painting and politics. Courbet's painting The Burial at Ornans outraged its Parisian public when it appeared in 1851. Does it still disturb us, and if so, why? These questions have been raised by a reading of two recent books on mid 19th-century French painting and politics by Timothy Clark.
