풀을 뜯는 소

1650

Paulus Potter, a Dutch master of the Baroque era, was absolutely obsessed with animals, and this 1650 work proves he didn't need a huge canvas to show it off! Notice how he captures the sheer bulk and shaggy texture of the grazing cow in the foreground, making it the undeniable star of the show while a buddy rests under a tree nearby. Potter was famous for elevating humble farm animals to the status of grand historical subjects, and if you look closely at the horizon, you'll spot a tiny church spire anchoring this peaceful Dutch landscape.
