"Cocks Fighting in a Farmyard" is a painting by the French artist Alexandre-François Desportes (1661–1743), who is renowned for his work as a painter of animals, hunting scenes, and still lifes. Created in the early 18th century, this artwork exemplifies Desportes' skill in capturing the dynamism and drama of animal life. The painting depicts a vivid scene of two roosters engaged in a fierce battle, a subject that reflects the naturalistic interests of the period and the artist's keen observation of the animal kingdom.

Desportes was one of the pioneers in animal painting in France and was influenced by the Dutch animal painters of the 17th century. He was appointed as a painter to Louis XIV and later served Louis XV, gaining high esteem for his ability to infuse life into his depictions of animals and game. "Cocks Fighting in a Farmyard" is a testament to his talent, showcasing not only his technical prowess but also his understanding of animal behavior and his ability to convey the intensity of the fight.

The painting is characterized by its rich color palette and the meticulous attention to detail, from the feathers of the cocks to the rustic setting of the farmyard. Desportes' work captures a moment of raw animal aggression, frozen in time, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and brutality of nature. The composition is animated, with the roosters positioned at the center of the canvas, drawing the eye to the action, while the background provides context and depth to the scene.

"Cocks Fighting in a Farmyard" remains an important work within Desportes' oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the development of animal painting in European art. It is a significant piece that reflects the cultural and artistic interests of the early 18th century, offering insight into the era's fascination with the natural world and the depiction of animals in their natural or domesticated states. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of Desportes' mastery in the genre of animal painting.
