"Pêcheur au bord de la Loue" (Fisherman on the Banks of the Loue) is an oil painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1857. As a leading figure of the Realism movement, Courbet was known for his commitment to painting everyday scenes and people, eschewing the romanticism and classical subjects popular in the mid-19th century. This work is a testament to his dedication to depicting the natural world and the common man with a sense of immediacy and truthfulness.

The painting portrays a solitary fisherman standing on the rocky shore of the Loue River, a location near Courbet's hometown of Ornans in the Franche-Comté region. The river, known for its clear waters, flows through a lush landscape that Courbet renders with his characteristic thick brushstrokes and attention to the effects of light. The fisherman, likely a local inhabitant, is captured in a moment of quiet contemplation, symbolizing the harmonious relationship between man and nature. This theme was a common thread in Courbet's work, reflecting his personal affinity for rural life and his political beliefs about the dignity of labor.

"Pêcheur au bord de la Loue" is notable for its realistic portrayal of the environment and the fisherman's unidealized presence within it. Courbet's use of color, light, and composition underscores the sensory experience of the riverside setting. The work is part of a series of landscapes that Courbet painted during the 1850s, which were instrumental in establishing his reputation as a master of the Realist style.

The painting is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to appreciate Courbet's skill in capturing the essence of the French countryside and its inhabitants. As with many of his works, "Pêcheur au bord de la Loue" reflects Courbet's revolutionary approach to art, which challenged the academic norms of his time and paved the way for modernist movements to come.
