Answer 1

Considered to be the most controversial of French realists, Gustave Courbet was not content simply to caricature society but who actively set out to offend it.

Answer 2

The correct answer is Gustave Courbet.
Courbet was a French Realist painter who was very vocal about his political opinions, which was why he was often imprisoned for them. As a Realist, he wanted to portray the world as it is, with no embellishments. He was very outspoken about politics and everything that was wrong about France at the time, which is why many people were offended by his works.
