"The Bull" (Dutch: "De Stier") is a celebrated painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Paulus Potter, completed in 1647, not 1649 as often misquoted. This monumental work is renowned for its remarkable detail, size, and the lifelike portrayal of a domestic animal, which was an unusual subject matter for such a grand scale during the 17th century. The painting is housed in the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands.

Measuring 235.5 cm × 339 cm (92.7 in × 133.5 in), "The Bull" stands out not only for its dimensions but also for Potter's meticulous attention to the natural world. The artist's ability to capture the essence and vitality of the bull, set against a detailed pastoral background, showcases his mastery in rendering textures, from the animal's hide to the lush landscape that surrounds it. Potter's work is a testament to the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with nature, realism, and the exploration of genre painting.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, "The Bull" also carries symbolic meanings, reflecting on the agricultural prosperity of the Dutch Republic during the 17th century and the societal reverence for nature and livestock. The painting's enduring legacy is evident in its influence on later artists and its status as a highlight of the Mauritshuis collection, attracting scholars and visitors alike who seek to admire Potter's skill and the beauty of Dutch rural life encapsulated in this masterpiece.
