About the piece
Created around 1872 by Gustave Courbet and his collaborator Cherubino Patà, this work captures the atmosphere of the Loue river valley. The painting exemplifies the Realist tradition, focusing on the tactile quality of the stone cliffs, the lush foliage, and the churning water of the mill race with sophisticated tonal control.
