"The Wounded Stag" is a painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, created around 1869. As a leading figure in the Realist movement, Courbet was known for his commitment to painting scenes of everyday life and the natural world with a sense of unembellished truth. This work diverges from his more common depictions of rural landscapes, social scenes, and seascapes, presenting instead a poignant image of a solitary animal in distress.

The painting features a stag, wounded and vulnerable, set against a dense, dark forest backdrop. The stag's body language and the expression in its eyes convey a sense of suffering and exhaustion, possibly from the pursuit of hunters or the struggle for survival in the wild. Courbet's use of thick, textured brushstrokes and a somber color palette enhances the emotional impact of the scene, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of nature, mortality, and the brutality inherent in the cycle of life.

"The Wounded Stag" is emblematic of Courbet's skill in rendering the textures and subtleties of the natural world, as well as his ability to evoke empathy and contemplation through his subject matter. The painting is consistent with the Realist ethos of confronting viewers with the unvarnished realities of life, devoid of romantic idealization. As with many of Courbet's works, this painting can be seen as a social commentary, possibly critiquing the human impact on nature or reflecting the artist's own feelings of persecution—Courbet's later life was marked by political controversy and personal strife.

While "The Wounded Stag" may not be as widely recognized as Courbet's larger-scale works like "The Painter's Studio" or "A Burial at Ornans," it remains a significant example of his artistic legacy and his dedication to the principles of Realism. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of the natural world.
