"My Atelier" (also known as "The Painter's Studio: A Real Allegory Summing up Seven Years of my Artistic and Moral Life") is a grand-scale painting created by the French artist Gustave Courbet in 1855. Measuring 361 cm × 598 cm (142 in × 235 in), it is one of Courbet's most ambitious and enigmatic works, serving as a self-portrait, an allegory, and a manifesto of the Realist movement, which he championed. The painting is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

The composition of "My Atelier" is divided into two sections, with Courbet himself at the center, actively engaged in painting a landscape. To his right, the figures are representative of the general public and various facets of society, including friends, workers, and the marginalized. To his left, there are people from the art world, including patrons, art lovers, and critics. This dichotomy is thought to reflect Courbet's views on the societal role of the artist and the relationship between art and the public.

Courbet's work was a direct response to the official Paris Salon, from which his paintings had been rejected. In defiance, he set up his own exhibition called the "Pavilion of Realism" which was a tent near the official Salon's venue. "My Atelier" was the centerpiece of this exhibition, symbolizing Courbet's break from traditional art institutions and his commitment to portraying the truth as he saw it, without idealization.

The painting is notable for its daring composition and its challenge to the academic standards of the time. It was a bold statement of artistic independence and a declaration of the importance of a direct and unflinching representation of life, which was central to the Realist movement. "My Atelier" remains a significant work in the history of art for its revolutionary approach to subject matter, its technical execution, and its profound influence on the development of modern art.
