About the piece

Created in 1847 by Johan Lundbye, a master of the Danish Golden Age, this oil painting depicts several cows in a rural landscape. The scene features a central cow bellowing toward the sky while others rest or stand near a simple wooden fence, set against a backdrop of rolling fields and a farmhouse under a gathering storm. It exemplifies the era's focus on national landscape and the humble beauty of rural life.
