"The Source of the Loue" is an oil painting by the renowned French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1864. This artwork is part of a series that depicts the Loue River, which was a significant subject in Courbet's oeuvre, reflecting his deep connection with nature and his native region, Franche-Comté. The painting measures 101 by 81.5 centimeters and is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

In "The Source of the Loue," Courbet captures the river's source with a dramatic and realistic approach that was characteristic of his style. The painting shows the river emerging powerfully from a dark, rocky cave, a motif that emphasizes the raw and untamed beauty of the natural world. The use of thick, expressive brushstrokes and a moody color palette enhances the sense of immediacy and the dynamic force of the flowing water.

This work is significant in Courbet's body of work as it exemplifies his commitment to realism and his skill in landscape painting. Unlike the idealized landscapes of some of his contemporaries, Courbet's depiction of the Loue River is grounded in direct observation and personal experience, making "The Source of the Loue" a profound statement of his artistic philosophy. The painting not only captures the physical appearance of the landscape but also conveys the emotional and symbolic significance Courbet found in the natural environment of his homeland.
