The Flock of Sheep
1661
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
The Flock of Sheep is a 1661 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a peaceful countryside scene with a flock of sheep grazing in the foreground. A shepherd and a few others stand near some trees, while a river runs through the middle of the landscape. The sky is bright with soft clouds, and distant hills fade into the background. The artist used light and shadow to create depth, making the sheep and trees stand out against the sky. The colors are warm and natural, giving the scene a calm, everyday feel. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
