1859 -1870 · Normandy, Étretat and invention of the coast
The Courbet marines bring together cliffs, sailboats, waterspouts and sunsets: the genre becomes a laboratory of weather, scale and matter.
Gustave Courbet tackles the navy during stays on the Channel coasts, particularly in Normandy. In Trouville, Honfleur and Étretat, he observed fishermen, sailboats, cliffs and rapid changes in the sky. The genre allows him to move from small studies to ambitious compositions. The Petite Marine can condense sea, horizon and boat in a tight format. The Trombe Marine transforms an atmospheric phenomenon into a mobile column connecting water and cloud. The Trombe Marine transforms an atmospheric phenomenon into a mobile column connecting water and cloud. The Trombe Marine transforms an atmospheric phenomenon into a mobile column connecting water and cloud. The Trombe Marine transforms an atmospheric phenomenon into a mobile column connecting water and cloud. Storms give the sky a mass almost as physical as the wave, while the Marine Arch of Étretat contrasts the geological duration of the cliff with the movement of the flow. At sunset, Courbet uses a range warmer without losing surface density. Sailboats, when they appear, give a human scale and fragility to the landscape. This collection therefore presents the navy as a complete genre: navigation, natural architecture, light and danger vary beyond the sole motif of the wave. The "Marines by Gustave Courbet" selection therefore compares Petite marine and Marine: La trombe marine. Its reading favors the story.
In Courbet's navy, the sky, the cliff and the boat do not decorate the sea: each measures a different force of the coastline.
