Vier koeien in de weide (easel painting (painting by form); Paulus Potter (Enkhuizen 1625 - Amsterdam 1654); 1651; Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands); SK-C-206; RM001.collect.5093) | |
Note: Paulus Potter is well-known for his paintings of animals. He hardly ever depicted people, concentrating instead on cows, horses, goats and sheep in typical Dutch landscapes. Potter had a fine sense of light and atmosphere. The cows depicted here stand out sharply against the stormy sky. Their heavy bodies cast dark shadows. It is as though the animals are bracing themselves to endure the threatening storm. These wiry animals are even more striking from the low viewpoint chosen by Potter for this painting. Potter did not live long, dying at the age of 29, but his paintings had a great influence on landscape art until well into the nineteenth century. | |
