"The Flood Gate at Optevoz" (French: "La Vanne d'écluse à Optevoz") is an oil painting created in 1859 by the French landscape artist Charles-François Daubigny. As a prominent figure in the Barbizon school, Daubigny was known for his pivotal role in the development of plein air painting, which would later influence the Impressionist movement. This particular work is a testament to Daubigny's dedication to capturing the essence of nature and the changing qualities of light and atmosphere.

Measuring 89.5 cm by 130 cm, the painting depicts a serene rural scene at Optevoz, a village located in the Isère department of southeastern France, which was a favorite subject of the artist. The composition focuses on a floodgate on a calm river, surrounded by lush vegetation and bathed in the soft, diffused light of either dawn or dusk. Daubigny's brushwork is loose and expressive, a technique that allows him to convey the tranquility and beauty of the landscape with a sense of immediacy and realism.

"The Flood Gate at Optevoz" is celebrated for its harmonious palette and the artist's ability to evoke mood through the interplay of light and shadow. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the landscape genre and is considered one of Daubigny's masterpieces, reflecting his deep connection to the French countryside and his innovative approach to painting that laid the groundwork for future generations of artists.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Musée du Louvre in Paris, France, where it continues to be admired for its artistic significance and its role in the history of French landscape painting.
