"Marine à Étretat" is an oil painting by the renowned French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1869 during one of his stays in Étretat, Normandy. This seascape is one of several works in which Courbet captured the dramatic coastal landscape of the region, known for its cliffs and rock formations, including the famous arches and the pointed needle-like structure that juts out into the sea.

The painting measures 65 cm by 81 cm and is part of a series that reflects Courbet's fascination with the sea, a subject that he approached with the same directness and force that characterized his other works. "Marine à Étretat" showcases Courbet's skill in rendering the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, the power of the waves, and the rugged textures of the cliffs. His use of thick, impasto brushstrokes gives the painting a palpable sense of energy and movement, capturing the raw beauty and relentless force of nature.

Courbet's time in Étretat coincided with a broader interest in the Normandy coast among artists, writers, and tourists in the 19th century. The region's natural beauty and unique geological features made it a popular subject for the plein air painting practice that was becoming increasingly favored by artists of the time. Courbet's depictions of Étretat contributed to the area's artistic legacy and influenced the way the landscape was perceived and represented in art.

"Marine à Étretat" is emblematic of Courbet's Realist approach to painting, which eschewed romanticized or idealized representations in favor of a more honest and direct engagement with the physical world. The work is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its bold technique and its evocative portrayal of the sea's natural power.
