1804
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Landscape with Cattle (recto) is a 1804 by Jules Dupré, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two cows grazing in a quiet field. One stands near a fence, its head down, while the other lies resting in the grass. Trees with bare branches line the background, and a small building or shed sits in the distance, half-hidden by foliage. The painting feels loose and sketchy, like it was done quickly. The colors are mostly earthy browns and whites, giving it a warm, faded look. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
Jules Louis Dupré (French pronunciation: ; April 5, 1811 – October 6, 1889) was a French painter, one of the chief members of the Barbizon school of landscape painters.
