The Cliffs at Étretat by Gustave Courbet Gustave Courbet's "The Cliffs at Étretat," painted in 1869, captures the rugged beauty of the Normandy coast with his signature Realist approach. The painting depicts the dramatic limestone cliffs of Étretat, rendered with precise, bold brushstrokes that convey the texture and solidity of the rock formations. Courbet's use of a muted yet dynamic color palette enhances the naturalism of the scene, while the play of light and shadow brings a sense of depth and atmosphere. This work reflects Courbet's fascination with nature's grandeur and his commitment to depicting it with unembellished honesty. "The Cliffs at Étretat" stands as a testament to his influence on landscape painting and his ability to evoke the sublime power of natural landscapes. Creati
