Two Cows on a Hill
1648
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Two Cows on a Hill is a 1648 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows two cows on a rocky hill. One cow stands tall with its head up, while the other cow sits or lies down, grazing. The background is mostly plain and light, with a faint sky and some small plants near the rocks. The artist used dark and light shades to make the cows stand out against the background. This helps draw your eye to the animals. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow.
