"Le Troupeau" (English: "The Herd") is a notable painting by the 19th-century French artist Émile van Marcke de Lummen, known for his pastoral scenes that often feature cattle. Born in Sèvres in 1827, Van Marcke was a student of the famous animal painter Troyon, which greatly influenced his artistic development and choice of subject matter. "Le Troupeau" exemplifies Van Marcke's skill in capturing the serene beauty of rural life and his particular talent for rendering livestock with lifelike accuracy and sensitivity.

The painting depicts a tranquil scene of a herd of cows grazing or resting in a lush field, possibly in the French countryside, which was a common theme in Van Marcke's work. His use of light and shadow, combined with a rich palette and loose brushwork, contributes to the overall impression of a peaceful, bucolic landscape. The composition typically showcases the artist's ability to convey the weight and volume of the animals, as well as their individual personalities, within a harmonious natural setting.

"Le Troupeau" is representative of the Barbizon School, an art movement named after the French village of Barbizon, which focused on realism in art and inspired many artists to paint en plein air (outdoors). Van Marcke's work is often associated with this movement, even though he developed a distinct style that set his pastoral scenes apart from those of his contemporaries.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of 19th-century French rural life and the period's growing interest in the natural world as a subject for art. "Le Troupeau" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Émile van Marcke de Lummen and continues to be appreciated for its contribution to the genre of animal painting and its embodiment of the pastoral ideal.
