The Fishing Boat
The Fishing Boat is an 1865 painting by French painter Gustave Courbet. Done in oil on canvas, the painting depicts a beached fishing boat on the french coastline near Trouville. The work was one of a series of 35 oil paintings that Courbet produced in quick succession during the fall of 1865. The Fishing Boat is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; notably, the painting was the first work by Courbet to enter the Met's collection when it was acquired in 1899.[1]
