"The Mountain Hut" is a painting by Gustave Courbet, known for his realist approach to art, showcasing a modest mountain hut nestled amongst the imposing peaks. The scene depicts a humble dwelling in the French countryside, with a red-tiled roof and a plume of smoke rising from the chimney, hinting at life and warmth within. The mountainous landscape is rendered in Courbet's characteristic detail, emphasizing the rugged beauty of the natural world. The painting is currently housed in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, Russia.
