A Burial at Ornans online

Hello! It might be a good idea to access an image of Courbet's painting online: the one published in Fried's original text is very hard to see. I found this one (google Art Project) to offer a good zooming option. It also includes ALL of the painting - some of the other pictures I accessed cropped out elements on the edges, including Wikipaintings, believe it or not! Zooming will come in handy when Fried starts to deconstruct the painting and goes into finer details - like the shovel in the open grave he mentions on several accounts and which I have yet to find. If your computer is a slow-poke, allow a few seconds for the resolution to fully generate - at close range you should be able to see the cracks in the paint.
