"Woods in the Snow" (French: "Paysage de neige" or "Forêt enneigée") is an oil painting by the renowned French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1867. This work is a quintessential example of Courbet's landscape paintings, in which he depicted the raw beauty and solemnity of nature. The painting measures 89 by 130 centimeters and is part of a series where Courbet explored winter scenes, a subject that fascinated him during the 1860s.

The composition of "Woods in the Snow" features a dense forest blanketed in snow, capturing the essence of the winter atmosphere. Courbet's use of impasto technique, where paint is laid on an area of the surface in very thick layers, is evident in the depiction of the snow-laden trees and the rugged terrain. The painting is characterized by its realistic portrayal of the natural world, devoid of romantic embellishment, which is consistent with Courbet's commitment to Realism.

Courbet's landscapes, including "Woods in the Snow," were significant for their departure from the traditional approach to landscape painting. Instead of idealized or exotic locales, Courbet chose to paint the familiar countryside of his native Franche-Comté region in France. His emphasis on the honest representation of his immediate environment challenged the norms of the art world at the time and influenced the development of landscape painting in the 19th century.

"Woods in the Snow" is admired for its textural detail and the sense of tranquility it evokes. The painting invites viewers to contemplate the serene and introspective qualities of nature during the winter months. Today, the artwork is held in a private collection, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to the Realist movement and its impact on the evolution of landscape painting.
