"The Wrestlers" (French: "Les Lutteurs") is an 1853 painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet. Known for his commitment to painting only subjects that he could see and experience, Courbet was a leading figure in the Realist movement, which sought to depict everyday scenes and people without idealization or romanticism. This work is a testament to his dedication to portraying the physicality and reality of human life.

The painting depicts a scene of two men engaged in a wrestling match, their bodies intertwined in a display of strength and exertion. The composition captures the intensity and dynamism of the struggle, with the wrestlers' muscles and skin rendered in meticulous detail. Courbet's use of color and light emphasizes the physicality of the scene, highlighting the raw energy and movement inherent in the sport.

"The Wrestlers" is notable for its candid and unglamorized representation of the human form, a characteristic feature of Courbet's approach to art. The artist's focus on the male figure and the theme of physical labor reflects his interest in the working class and the common man, which was a central element of his artistic philosophy.

This painting is considered an important work in Courbet's oeuvre, as it exemplifies his skill in capturing life's realism and his ability to convey the weight and presence of the human body. "The Wrestlers" remains a significant piece in the study of 19th-century French painting and the development of Realism in art. It is held in high regard for its contribution to the depiction of sporting and laborious subjects in a fine art context, challenging the traditional hierarchy of genres that had previously dominated academic painting.
