Galerie Mont The Flagey Oak – Gustave Courbet^ Courbet

Gustave Courbet’s The Flagey Oak transports us to the heart of a majestic natural setting, where a sturdy oak stands proudly at the centre of the composition. Its outstretched branches seem to caress the sky, while its solid trunk evokes strength and durability. Around it, the lush vegetation and changing sky create an atmosphere that is both serene and dynamic, reflecting the nuances and complexities of nature.

As a master of realism, Courbet devoted himself to the faithful representation of reality. In this work, he excelled in the landscape genre, capturing the raw beauty and grandeur of nature. Every detail, from the leaves of the oak to the reflections in the water, is painted with a precision that testifies to his keen observation and deep respect for the natural world.
