#BornOnThisDay 200 years ago: A rediscovery unseen in public for over 120 years, ‘Paysage de neige avec arbres et rochers’ by Gustave Courbet belongs to a small group of winter landscapes depicting the same birch trees in the artist's native region of Franche Comte. Here, the artist explores the sous bois setting through a pure landscape devoid of narrative incident or human presence.

While Courbet's own mythology suggested an artist who painted quickly with a rough, macho handling of paint, the well preserved surface of this work reveals how sophisticated his handling of the medium could be. The winter subject allowed him to build layer upon layer of paint through masterful use of the palette knife, as he strove to capture the appearance of snow over frozen, impacted earth and the remnants of the russet foliage. As Courbet himself once said, “To create living art – this is my goal”.
