"Rib of Beef" (French: "Le Bœuf Écorché") is an oil painting by French artist Gustave Caillebotte, created in 1882. Known for his commitment to realism and his involvement with the Impressionists, Caillebotte's work often depicted urban life, domestic scenes, and still lifes with a distinctive attention to detail and compositional structure.

"Rib of Beef" stands out in Caillebotte's oeuvre as a stark and unflinching representation of a butchered animal, a subject that aligns him with a tradition of realism that includes artists like Rembrandt, whose own "Slaughtered Ox" is a notable antecedent. The painting measures 54 x 65 cm and is part of a series of still lifes that Caillebotte produced during the 1880s, a period when he began to withdraw from the Parisian art scene and focus more on domestic and rural subjects.

In "Rib of Beef," Caillebotte employs a limited color palette dominated by reds and browns, capturing the textures and physicality of the meat with a clinical precision that reflects his interest in the materiality of his subjects. The painting's composition, with the rib of beef hanging from a hook against a stark background, evokes a sense of isolation and the transitory nature of life, themes that resonate with the artist's broader contemplation of mortality and the passage of time.

The work is considered significant for its bold subject matter and its reflection of Caillebotte's engagement with both the traditions of still life painting and the modernist impulses of his time. "Rib of Beef" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the understanding of Caillebotte's artistic range and the socio-cultural context of his work.

As with many of Caillebotte's paintings, "Rib of Beef" is appreciated for its technical mastery and its ability to provoke thought about the relationship between art, everyday life, and the often-unseen aspects of the world that sustains urban society. The painting remains an important piece within the study of 19th-century French art and continues to attract scholarly attention for its aesthetic and historical significance.
