"The Wave" is a series of seascapes painted by the French artist Gustave Courbet (1819–1877), who is known for his contributions to the Realist movement. These paintings, created during the latter part of Courbet's career, in the 1860s and 1870s, depict the dynamic and powerful movement of waves in the sea, capturing the interplay of water, light, and air with a vigorous and expressive brushwork that was characteristic of Courbet's mature style.

Courbet's fascination with the sea and its ever-changing nature is evident in these works, where he often focused on the force and majesty of waves crashing against the shore. The Wave paintings vary in size and perspective, with some offering close-up views of the surf, while others provide a broader look at the coastal landscape. These seascapes are noted for their realism and the artist's ability to convey the raw energy and emotion of the natural scene before him.

As a leading figure in the Realist movement, Courbet rejected the romanticism of the time and instead sought to depict subjects as he saw them, without idealization. His Wave paintings are a testament to this philosophy, presenting the sea in its true form, powerful and indifferent to human presence. The series showcases Courbet's skill in rendering different textures and his use of color to reflect the mood and atmosphere of the maritime environment.

The Wave paintings by Gustave Courbet are held in various art collections around the world and are celebrated for their innovative approach to landscape painting, which would later influence the development of Impressionism and other modern art movements. These works continue to be admired for their technical mastery and their evocative portrayal of nature's beauty and ferocity.
