Étretat Sea Arch Coastal Landscape Painting (1869) by Gustave Courbet

Painted in 1869, this powerful coastal landscape depicts the famous sea arch of Étretat, rendered with Gustave Courbet’s bold realism. The towering rock formation rises dramatically above calm waters, emphasizing nature’s grandeur and permanence. Courbet’s controlled color palette and textured strokes bring depth and solidity to the cliffs, while small boats add a subtle human presence. This composition reflects his fascination with coastal geology and atmospheric light. A compelling artwork that celebrates natural architecture and 19th-century landscape realism.
