"The Creek" (French: "Le Ruisseau") is a painting by French Symbolist artist Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer (1865–1953). Created in 1895, during a period when Lévy-Dhurmer was transitioning from his early career as a ceramicist to becoming a full-time painter, the work is emblematic of the Symbolist movement, which sought to express ideas and emotions through a nuanced and often mystical visual language.

The painting features a dreamlike landscape, a common theme in Lévy-Dhurmer's oeuvre, where the natural world is imbued with a sense of enchantment and otherworldliness. "The Creek" is characterized by its soft, ethereal light and a palette dominated by muted tones, which together create a serene and contemplative atmosphere. The composition likely reflects the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites and the Aesthetic Movement, both of which prized beauty, nature, and a certain degree of mysticism in their works.

Lévy-Dhurmer's technique in "The Creek" showcases his skill in blending colors and creating a harmonious interplay of light and shadow, which contributes to the overall mystical quality of the painting. The creek itself, which is the central element of the composition, draws the viewer's eye into the distance, suggesting a journey or a passage into a transcendent realm.

As a prominent work within Lévy-Dhurmer's artistic canon, "The Creek" is significant for its representation of Symbolist themes and its reflection of the artist's personal exploration of spirituality and the inner world. The painting is also an example of the cross-pollination of artistic ideas at the turn of the 20th century, incorporating elements from various contemporary art movements.

"The Creek" is held in high regard by art historians and critics for its technical mastery and its evocative power, encapsulating the essence of Symbolism's preoccupation with the unseen and the emotive potential of the natural landscape. The work remains an important piece within the broader context of late 19th-century European art and continues to be studied for its contribution to the Symbolist movement and its enduring aesthetic appeal.
