Mountains and Cattle is a 1828 by Peter De Wint, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene. Rolling green hills stretch into the distance, with a few rocky outcrops and scattered trees. In the foreground, three cows rest near a small stream, while the sky above is soft and pale with a few faint clouds. The artist used light colors and gentle brushstrokes to make the scene feel calm and peaceful. The cows look relaxed, almost as if they’re part of the landscape itself. Next, look up Peter De Wint to see how he painted other landscapes like this one.
