フランスの山岳地帯に育ったクールベにとって、長いあいだ未知の世界であった海。彼は1860年代後半から、この雄大なモチーフに本格的に取り組むようになります。 ノルマンディー地方、エトルタの嵐の海を描いた本作は、1870年ごろに制作されました。画面の半分を荒れる海が占めダイナミックに表現された大波のうねりはカンヴァスの枠を越えて手前に迫ってくるようです。黒い青緑色をした海と灰色がかった茜色の空という色彩対比、さらに絵筆とペインティングナイフによる質感の描き分けなど、簡潔な構図でありながらすぐれた技量がうかがえる作品と言えるでしょう。画面からは物語要素が一切排され、峻厳な自然の実相が客観的に捉えられています。(出典: 展示室作品解説パネル)

Courbet painted many works depicting the coast of the English Channel at Tourville and Etretat in the latter half of the 1860s. This coastline provided the stage for works by Corot, Boudin and Monet, and these artists were dubbed the Saint-Siméon Group after a site in this region. Courbet was one of the most active members of this group. In 1868 Courbet, Manet, Monet and Boudin participated in the International Seascape Exhibition in Le Havre. It is thought that Waves was painted on the coast at Etretat in 1869. Courbet's powerful brushwork can be seen in the expression of the constantly changing waves and sky. The huge waves with their white caps rise up and crash under the heavy sky. The waves eventually crash on the huge crags in the foreground. This transitory moment was captured on canvas by his virtuosity. Courbet created several other works on this subject in the same year.
