1850 -1877 · Jura, cliffs and geological painting
The rocks of Courbet not only close the landscape: strata, faults and masses give the painting its weight, its terrestrial memory and its resistance.
Gustave Courbet knows intimately the cliffs, gorges and limestone blocks of the Loue valley. In its landscapes, the rock ceases to be a background intended to frame a view. It becomes the main subject, often placed close to the viewer and cutting off a large part of the sky. Rocks in Ornans, rocks of Loue or Mouthier describe specific sites, but the thick paste and the knife give the surface an almost abstract autonomy. Cracks, vegetation and shadow areas indicate erosion and duration. When the river runs along the wall, the moving water indicates erosion and duration.

This attention to the ground responds to the painter's realism: landscape is not a general idea of nature, but a situated material that resists the gaze. The "Rocks of Gustave Courbet" selection notably compares Rivière et Rochers and Les Rochers de la Loue. Its reading favors the atmosphere.
Courbet paints the rock as he paints a body: by weight, accident, surface and presence, never as a simple decoration.
