The Angry Sea 1870

"The Angry Sea" (1870) by Gustave Courbet is a powerful seascape capturing a turbulent, stormy sea with heavy, dark clouds looming overhead. The artist's characteristic Realism style is evident in the painting's emphasis on natural detail and direct observation. Courbet's brushstrokes, particularly in the depiction of the waves, are bold and expressive, adding to the sense of movement and unrest in the painting. This dramatic seascape provides a glimpse into the force and beauty of nature, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer.
