Mer Orageuse (Mar borrascoso) is a 1858 oil by Gustave Courbet, a Realism work, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This painting depicts a vast, open landscape with a dark, cloudy sky above. The foreground features a field of tall, yellowish grasses and shrubs, with some areas appearing more lush and green than others. In the distance, the landscape stretches out to meet the horizon, where the dark clouds dominate the scene. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured appearance. The overall mood of the painting is somber, with the dark clouds casting a shadow over the landscape. If you're interested in exploring more works by this artist, look up Gustave Courbet.
