1782
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Wooded Landscape with Herdsman and Cows is a 1782 by Thomas Gainsborough, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet countryside scene with a few cows grazing under tall, twisted trees. The sky is pale, and the ground looks uneven, with some grass and rocks. In the distance, a lone person stands near a fence, watching the animals. The trees have thick, dark branches that spread out like a shadowy canopy. The artist used soft lines to show light and dark spots, making the scene feel peaceful but a little mysterious. If you like this style, look up Romanticism next.
Thomas Gainsborough (; 14 May 1727 (baptised) – 2 August 1788) was an English painter, draughtsman and printmaker who specialised in portrait and landscape painting.
