Pieter Pander (1962)

Cows

1998 | oil paint on canvas | 100 × 190 cm

In this work by Pieter Pander, a herd of cattle solemnly moves towards the horizon.

The many animals that Pander paints are common sights in the landscape of the Netherlands. By painting them from a special perspective, he removes them from their usual context so we can see them with new eyes. He depicts their vulnerability, fear, dignity and their trust in humankind.
