"The Hammock" (French: "Le Hamac") is an oil painting by the renowned French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1844. As a pivotal figure in the 19th-century realist movement, Courbet was known for his commitment to painting scenes of everyday life and the human experience without idealization. This work is a testament to his early exploration of these themes, predating his more famous and overtly political works.

Measuring 97 cm by 132 cm, "The Hammock" depicts a serene moment of leisure, capturing a woman lying in a hammock in a lush, verdant landscape. The figure is rendered with a sense of weight and presence that is characteristic of Courbet's approach to the human form. The painting's composition, with its diagonal lines and the interplay of light and shadow, demonstrates Courbet's skill in creating a sense of depth and realism.

"The Hammock" is significant as it illustrates the artist's early engagement with the realist ethos, which would later become more pronounced in his career. The work is also notable for its departure from the historical and mythological subjects that were popular among Courbet's contemporaries. Instead, it celebrates the beauty of ordinary life, a theme that would become central to the realist movement.

The painting is held in a private collection, and its provenance and exhibition history contribute to its scholarly interest. As with many of Courbet's works, "The Hammock" has been the subject of art historical analysis, with scholars examining its place within the broader context of 19th-century French painting and its influence on the development of modern art.

"The Hammock" by Gustave Courbet remains an important work for its early indication of the artist's realist tendencies and for its quiet yet powerful portrayal of a simple, tranquil moment in nature.
