About the piece
Created in 1845 by Danish artist Johan Lundbye, this painting captures the rustic grandeur of the Roman Campagna. The scene depicts a drove of oxen being guided by riders, rendered with the soft, golden light and meticulous detail characteristic of the Danish Golden Age. The composition balances the raw power of the animals with the serene beauty of the Italian countryside.
