The Bull Oil on canvas, 236.5 x 341 x 5 cm, by Paulus Potter, 1647 Mauritshuis, The Hague |
||||||||||
| In a defining example of Dutch realism, the bull, a humble farm animal, is depicted on a grand scale, accompanied by other animals. Smaller naturalistic details—such as a frog, the sunlight, a bird in flight, and the ragged farmer's torn clothing—are captured with exacting clarity. |
