Landscape in the Jura (Translation)
Paysage du Jura (Primary Title)
Gustave Courbet, French, 1819 - 1877 (Artist)
Throughout his turbulent life, Gustav Courbet maintained a connection with his hometown of Ornans, located in the mountainous Jura region of eastern France. In this depiction of the wild and rugged landscape, the artist rendered with powerful simplicity the conjunction of a massive rock form with an equally large tree.
