"The Sea-Arch at Etretat, 1869" is a notable painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, created during his visit to the Normandy coast. This artwork is part of a series in which Courbet focused on capturing the majestic cliffs and natural arches of Étretat, a small fishing village that attracted many artists of the time due to its dramatic and picturesque landscapes. The painting measures 133 by 162 centimeters and is executed in oil on canvas.

In "The Sea-Arch at Etretat," Courbet depicts the famous Porte d'Aval, one of the three natural arches at Étretat, with a dynamic and vigorous brushwork that emphasizes the rugged textures of the rocky formations and the powerful movement of the sea. The composition is marked by a dramatic contrast between the solidity of the cliffs and the fluidity of the ocean, capturing the interplay of light and shadow with a palette dominated by shades of gray, blue, and white.

This work is significant in Courbet's oeuvre as it exemplifies his commitment to realism and his skill in portraying natural scenes with emotional depth and technical proficiency. "The Sea-Arch at Etretat" not only reflects Courbet's fascination with nature's power and beauty but also contributes to the broader artistic interest in the Normandy coast during the 19th century, which influenced the development of landscape painting in France. The painting is currently held in a private collection, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical value.
