1853
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Four Oxen Pulling a Plough is a 1853 by Constant Troyon, a Romanticism work, depicting Oxen, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows four strong oxen pulling a wooden plow through a furrowed field. Their muscles ripple under thick coats of brown and white fur. Troyon painted rural France in the 1800s when farming still relied on animals. The light catches the animals’ sweat and the turned earth. It feels like a slow summer afternoon. Look up Constant Troyon, the artist who painted this.
Constant Troyon (French pronunciation: ; August 28, 1810 – February 21, 1865) was a French painter of the Barbizon school.
