Sunset on Lake Leman - Gustave Courbet
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
Sunset on Lake Leman by Gustave Courbet is an immersion in an ephemeral moment when day gives way to night. The almost melancholy tranquillity of Lake Geneva reflects the last of the sun's orange glow, creating a contrast with the dark hues of the surrounding mountains.
In this work, Courbet, a follower of realism, captures the magic of a moment when nature is transformed by the fading light. This resolutely landscape painting is an ode to the ephemeral beauty of the end of the day on the lake. By playing with nuances and reflections, the artist reminds us of nature's capacity to offer grandiose spectacles, even in its simplicity.
