"Cliffs near Ornans" is an oil painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1870. As a leading figure in the Realist movement, Courbet was known for his commitment to painting scenes of everyday life and the natural world as he saw it, often eschewing the romanticized or idealized depictions common in the art of his time. This painting continues in that vein, depicting a rugged landscape in the region of Franche-Comté, where Courbet was born.

Measuring 66 x 82 cm, "Cliffs near Ornans" captures the dramatic and raw beauty of the rocky terrain near the small town of Ornans. The composition is characterized by its dark tones and the powerful, almost tactile representation of the cliffs, which dominate the canvas. Courbet's use of impasto, applying paint thickly so that it stands out from the surface, enhances the textural quality of the cliffs and foliage, giving the work a sense of immediacy and physical presence.

The painting is part of a series of landscapes that Courbet produced around Ornans, which were significant in the development of landscape painting in the 19th century. These works often reflected Courbet's personal connection to the region and his revolutionary approach to art, which involved direct observation of nature without idealization.

"Cliffs near Ornans" is not only a testament to Courbet's skill as a painter of landscapes but also an example of his influence on the development of modern art. By focusing on the honest depiction of his native landscape, Courbet challenged the conventions of his time and paved the way for future generations of artists to explore their surroundings with a fresh perspective. The painting is held in various art collections and continues to be studied for its contribution to the Realist movement and its impact on the trajectory of Western art.
