"Calf's Head and Ox Tongue" is a notable painting by the French artist Gustave Caillebotte, created in 1882. As a member of the Impressionist movement, Caillebotte was known for his realistic depictions of urban life and his interest in photographic angles and lighting. However, this particular work diverges from his typical subject matter of Parisian scenes and instead delves into the realm of still life.

The painting presents a vivid and unidealized portrayal of raw meat, showcasing Caillebotte's skill in rendering textures and surfaces with a high degree of realism. The composition features a calf's head and an ox tongue, arranged on a white tablecloth with a stark, almost clinical precision. The choice of subject matter reflects the influence of the Realist tradition, as well as the artist's personal interest in the visceral aspects of everyday life.

Measuring 65.4 x 81 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas. It is part of a series of still lifes that Caillebotte produced during the 1880s, which includes other works such as "Game Birds and Lemons" (1880) and "Fruit Displayed on a Stand" (1881-1882). "Calf's Head and Ox Tongue" stands out within Caillebotte's oeuvre for its unflinching representation of butchered meat, a subject that aligns him with contemporaries like Édouard Manet, whose "The Butcher's Shop" similarly tackled themes of consumption and the reality of food preparation.

The painting is a testament to Caillebotte's versatility as an artist and his willingness to explore different genres and themes. It also provides insight into the culinary and cultural practices of the time, as such cuts of meat were common in the French diet during the late 19th century. Today, "Calf's Head and Ox Tongue" is appreciated for its technical mastery and its bold, if somewhat unsettling, subject matter, contributing to the understanding of Caillebotte's broader artistic legacy.
