Landscape with a Bull, Sheep and Goats is a 1688 unspecified by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a bull standing in the center, surrounded by sheep and a goat. The animals are in a rocky, grassy landscape with a dark, jagged cliff in the background. The bull looks alert, while the sheep and goat seem calm or resting. The artist used thick brushstrokes to show the texture of the animals’ fur and the rough terrain. The lighting creates strong contrasts between light and dark areas, making the shapes stand out. Look up *chiaroscuro* to learn more about this lighting technique.
