A Drove of Oxen in the Roman Campagna is a 1845 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a group of people on horseback herding large oxen along a dirt road. The sky is dramatic with thick, swirling clouds, and the land behind them is flat with a few small buildings. The oxen have long horns and are moving in a line, while the riders wear simple hats and coats. The scene looks like a rural area, possibly used for farming or travel. The way the light hits the animals and riders makes the painting feel lively and full of movement. If you like this kind of outdoor scene, look into Romanticism next.
