Shedding deer in winter - Gustave Courbet
Excellent
L'œuvre en bref
Gustave Courbet's Shedding deer in winter depicts a winter scene in a dense forest. Snow covers the ground, trees and rocks, creating a cold, silent atmosphere. In the centre, three deer are resting. The shades of white and grey, punctuated by the brown tones of the animals, reinforce the sense of quietude and melancholy.
Courbet, as a figure of realism, emphasises man's relationship with nature, particularly in the context of hunting. Oscillating between landscape and genre scene, the work captures the duality of the peaceful beauty of winter and the brutal reality of survival. Every detail, from the footprints in the snow to the expressions of the figures, bears witness to the complexity of this interaction.
