Gustave Courbet's "River and Cliff" (1865) depicts a serene landscape featuring a winding river flowing through a narrow gorge. The artist, a leading figure in the Realism movement, captured the natural world with meticulous detail, focusing on the interplay of light and shadow on the rocky cliffs and the foliage. The painting's simple composition and muted palette create a sense of tranquility and invite the viewer to contemplate the beauty of nature. This work is a testament to Courbet's commitment to portraying everyday subjects with honesty and directness.
