Landscape Near Ornans 

Gustave Courbet's "Landscape Near Ornans" showcases the artist's signature Realist style, capturing a serene scene of a river flowing through a lush valley. The composition features a large tree on the left, its foliage a rich autumnal orange against the backdrop of a rocky cliff face. The river meanders through the foreground, its surface reflecting the light of the sky, while a cluster of rocks in the lower right corner marks a small cascade. Courbet's use of earthy tones and brushstrokes emphasize the natural beauty of the landscape, inviting the viewer to contemplate the tranquility of the scene.
