About the piece
Painted in 1869, Gustave Courbet’s 'Stormy Weather at Etretat' showcases the artist's fascination with the untamed power of nature. The dramatic impasto of the crashing white surf contrasts with the somber, heavy sky and the solid cliffs of Etretat, creating a sense of atmospheric depth and movement that characterizes the mid-19th century French Realist movement.
