"The Large Oak" (also known as "The Oak of Flagey") is a notable painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1864. This work is significant as it exemplifies Courbet's commitment to realism and his profound appreciation for the natural landscape, themes that are central to his artistic oeuvre. The painting depicts a robust and solitary oak tree situated in the village of Flagey, near the artist's hometown of Ornans. It stands as a testament to the grandeur and endurance of nature, a subject that Courbet revisited throughout his career.

Measuring 89 cm × 110 cm, "The Large Oak" is characterized by its rich, textural brushwork and the use of a palette that captures the earthy tones of the rural French countryside. Courbet's treatment of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the intricate details of the tree's bark and foliage, contribute to the painting's lifelike presence. The composition is anchored by the massive trunk of the oak, while the expanse of the sky and the subtle inclusion of the surrounding landscape serve to contextualize the tree within its environment.

As a leading figure of the Realist movement, Courbet rejected the idealization of nature found in Romanticism, instead choosing to portray the world around him with honesty and directness. "The Large Oak" is a prime example of this philosophy, capturing the unembellished beauty of the natural world. The painting not only reflects Courbet's personal connection to the landscape of his youth but also conveys a universal message about the resilience and majesty of nature.

"The Large Oak" is held in high regard within the canon of 19th-century French painting and continues to be studied for its contribution to the development of landscape painting. It has been displayed in various art institutions and has been part of important exhibitions that explore the evolution of realism and the depiction of nature in art.
