Landscape with enraged ox is a 1650 oil by Adam Pynacker, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a few animals and a person in the distance. In the foreground, an ox is shown with its head lowered, as if it is about to charge. A dog is also visible, standing near the ox. The background features trees and hills, with a person standing on a hill in the distance. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The ox and dog are rendered in detail, while the person in the distance is more subtle. The overall effect is one of calmness and tranquility. The artist's use of chiaroscuro adds to the sense of drama and tension in the scene.
