The novel L'oeuvre, written by Émile Zola, is the fourteenth installment in the Rougon-Macquart series. Beginning in December 1885, it was serialised in the magazine Gil Blas, and by 1886, Charpentier had published it as a novel. The title, which means "the work" (in the sense of an artistic creation) in English, is more commonly transcribed as "The Masterpiece" or "His Masterpiece."
