"Sacrifice of an Ox, from the Camera dei Venti" is a fresco created in 1528 by the Italian artist Giulio Romano, also known as Orbetto. Giulio Romano was a notable painter and architect of the High Renaissance and a prominent pupil of Raphael. This work is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the Camera dei Venti (Room of the Winds) in the Palazzo del Te in Mantua, Italy, which was designed and decorated by Romano and his workshop.

The fresco depicts a classical scene of a sacrificial ceremony, a common theme in Renaissance art, reflecting the period's fascination with antiquity. In the "Sacrifice of an Ox," Romano illustrates the ritualistic killing of an ox, a practice associated with various ancient cultures, including the Romans and Greeks, as a means of offering to the gods. The work is characterized by its dynamic composition, attention to anatomical detail, and the use of perspective, which were hallmarks of Romano's style and indicative of the transition from the High Renaissance to the Mannerist period.

The Camera dei Venti was commissioned by Federico II Gonzaga, the Duke of Mantua, and is renowned for its elaborate frescoes that combine mythological, astrological, and allegorical elements. The "Sacrifice of an Ox" is particularly noted for its vivid portrayal of the figures involved in the ceremony and the dramatic use of light and shadow, which enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene.

As a significant work of Giulio Romano and an integral part of the Palazzo del Te's decorative program, the "Sacrifice of an Ox, from the Camera dei Venti" remains an important example of Renaissance art and its enduring influence on the development of Western painting. The fresco continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a reflection of the cultural and intellectual currents of its time.
