About the piece
Created in 1864, 'The Dead Fox' showcases Gustave Courbet's commitment to the Realist movement, which sought to depict subjects with uncompromising honesty. The fox's rich, auburn fur provides a bold contrast against the textured, impasto snow, while the atmospheric woodland background evokes the quiet, somber stillness of a winter hunt.
