About the artwork
Gustave Courbet is the artist behind "La source de la Loue (The Source of the Loue)". Landscape, a short history: The invention of paint in tubes in the 1840s made it easier to work outdoors, and landscape became a main subject of Romanticism, Realism, and Impressionism. Landscape became an independent genre in European painting in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, while in East Asia it had long been central to ink painting. It is listed in the Landscape collection. The image is in landscape orientation.
"La source de la Loue (The Source of the Loue)" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing.
