The Cliff 

"The Cliff" is a landscape painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, known for his Realism style. The painting depicts a dramatic cliff face, partially obscured by a cluster of trees, overlooking a placid body of water. Courbet's realistic portrayal of nature emphasizes the raw beauty of the natural world, a signature feature of his work. The painting's muted palette adds to the sense of tranquility and the subtle use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth. "The Cliff" is a quintessential example of Courbet's realist style, capturing the natural world in a simple yet profound way.
