"The Death of the Deer" (French: La Mort du cerf) is a painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, completed in 1867. This work is one of Courbet's forays into the genre of hunting scenes, a subject that was popular among the French bourgeoisie of the time. The painting depicts a poignant moment in the aftermath of a deer hunt, capturing the raw emotion and the stark reality of the animal's demise.

Courbet, known for his leading role in the Realist movement, was committed to painting only subjects that he could see and experience firsthand. His approach to art was grounded in the belief that the everyday and the actual were the most important subjects for painting. "The Death of the Deer" is a testament to this philosophy, as it presents the viewer with an unidealized portrayal of nature and the impact of human activity upon it.

Measuring at a significant size, the painting's dimensions contribute to its immersive effect, drawing the viewer into the scene. The composition is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which emphasizes the lifeless body of the deer and the somber mood of the work. Courbet's brushwork is both detailed and vigorous, a characteristic style that lends a sense of movement and immediacy to the scene.

"The Death of the Deer" is reflective of Courbet's interest in themes of mortality and the transient nature of life. The painting invites contemplation on the relationship between humans and the natural world, a subject that remains relevant in contemporary discourse. As with many of Courbet's works, this painting can be seen as a social commentary, challenging the romanticized visions of hunting and confronting the viewer with the stark consequences of such pursuits.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the understanding of Courbet's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century French painting. "The Death of the Deer" continues to be studied and appreciated for its technical mastery and its powerful thematic content.
