"The Meeting or Bonjour, Monsieur Courbet" is an 1854 painting by French artist Gustave Courbet. The painting is part of a trio of works that Courbet created during his stay in Montpellier, and it is considered one of his most notable works from this period. The artwork depicts a chance encounter between Courbet and his patron Alfred Bruyas, along with Bruyas's servant Calas, as they meet on a rural road.

The painting is significant for its realistic portrayal of the figures and the landscape, which reflects Courbet's commitment to portraying scenes from everyday life and his rejection of idealized academic art. The composition is notable for its informal arrangement and the direct gaze of the figures, which engage the viewer in the encounter. "The Meeting" is often interpreted as a commentary on the artist-patron relationship, highlighting Courbet's role as a pioneering figure in the Realist movement.

This work is housed in the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France. It continues to be studied and admired for its bold technique and its role in the development of realism in 19th-century French painting.
