About the piece
In this 1890 oil on canvas, Danish artist Theodor Philipsen captures a group of cattle as they traverse the flat terrain of the island of Saltholm. The work is a masterclass in light and atmosphere, utilizing a bright, hazy palette and impressionistic brushwork to render the long, dramatic shadows cast by the animals under an expansive sky.
