"The Sheep Jump" (Italian: "Il Salto delle Pecore") is a notable painting created in 1887 by the Italian artist Giovanni Fattori, a prominent figure in the Macchiaioli movement. The Macchiaioli were a group of Italian painters active in Tuscany in the second half of the 19th century, who are considered precursors to the Impressionists. They sought to break away from the academic conventions of their time, emphasizing the use of light and color to capture the essence of a scene.

Fattori, born in Livorno in 1825, is renowned for his depictions of rural life and military subjects, often characterized by their vivid realism and attention to detail. "The Sheep Jump" exemplifies his skill in portraying everyday scenes with a sense of immediacy and naturalism. The painting captures a dynamic moment in the pastoral landscape, where a flock of sheep is depicted in mid-motion, leaping over an obstacle. This scene is rendered with Fattori's characteristic use of broad, loose brushstrokes and a keen observation of light and shadow, which imbue the composition with a sense of movement and vitality.

The work reflects Fattori's deep connection to the Tuscan countryside and his ability to convey the simplicity and beauty of rural life. His use of color and light in "The Sheep Jump" demonstrates his mastery in creating atmospheric effects, a hallmark of the Macchiaioli style. The painting not only showcases Fattori's technical prowess but also his sensitivity to the rhythms of nature and the everyday experiences of the people and animals that inhabit it.

"The Sheep Jump" is held in high regard within the canon of 19th-century Italian art, representing a significant contribution to the development of modern painting. It continues to be studied and admired for its innovative approach and its role in the broader context of European art history.
