Sunset Marine

Gustave Courbet’s "Sunset Marine" beautifully captures the ethereal moment when the sun sets over the horizon, filling the sky with a warm, golden glow. The painting’s color palette is dominated by vibrant oranges and soft yellows, which blend into the subtle grays and browns of the clouds, creating a sense of calm and fading light. The horizon is a delicate line separating the vast expanse of sky from the sea, with gentle waves reflecting the fiery colors of the sunset. Courbet’s loose, expressive brushstrokes give texture and movement to the sky, while the sea remains a tranquil, reflective surface.
