"The Slaughtered Ox" (Dutch: "De geslachte os") is a 1638 oil painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, known simply as Rembrandt. This work is an example of Rembrandt's exploration of still-life subjects and is notable for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which Rembrandt mastered and frequently employed in his works. The painting depicts a butchered ox carcass, hung by its hind legs from a wooden beam in a dimly lit storage room. The carcass is presented in a starkly realistic manner, with the ribs exposed and the flesh rendered in meticulous detail.

The painting is often interpreted as a commentary on the transience of life and the inevitability of death, themes that are recurrent in Rembrandt's oeuvre. The choice of subject matter reflects the Dutch tradition of genre painting, where everyday scenes and objects are depicted with a high level of realism and often imbued with deeper moral or philosophical meanings.

"The Slaughtered Ox" is also significant for its departure from the more common themes of Rembrandt's work, such as portraiture, biblical, and mythological scenes. Instead, it offers a raw and unidealized view of life in the 17th century, providing insight into the domestic and commercial practices of the time.

Currently, the painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative power. "The Slaughtered Ox" remains an important work within Rembrandt's body of art, exemplifying his skill in rendering the textures and complexities of the physical world, as well as his ability to evoke emotion and contemplation through his choice of subject matter and mastery of light.
