Smith College’s traveling exhibit “Corot to Picasso” has been making its way around the country. It includes an unfinished painting by Gustave Courbet which was titled “The Preparation of the Bride,” until it was discovered that someone had painted clothes on the “bride” in order to alter a morbid, previously thought missing, painting called “The Preparation of the Dead Girl.” It is thought that the bridal theme was considered more marketable when the painting was sold after Courbet’s death, and thus the alteration was made. X-Rays revealed the truth underneath. The exhibit includes other unfinished works, appropriate for an educational institution’s collection, which reveal the creation process.
