"Cattle in the Pontine Marshes" is an oil painting by Italian artist Pietro Barucci (1845–1917), depicting a pastoral scene set in the Pontine Marshes, an area of former marshland in the Lazio region of central Italy. Barucci, known for his landscape paintings, captures the essence of the Italian countryside during the late 19th century, a period when the country was undergoing significant changes due to the Risorgimento, or the unification of Italy.

The painting is characterized by its serene representation of cattle grazing amidst the marshes, with a focus on the natural beauty and agricultural life of the region. Barucci's use of light and color reflects the influence of the Roman Campagna school, which emphasized the idyllic and sometimes melancholic aspects of the Italian landscape.

"Cattle in the Pontine Marshes" is notable for its historical context as well. The Pontine Marshes were a notorious and longstanding problem in Italian history, often associated with malaria and underdevelopment. Efforts to drain and reclaim the marshes for agricultural use date back to ancient times and were particularly emphasized during the Fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, making Barucci's work an important precursor to the more intense focus on the area in the 20th century.

The painting is a testament to Barucci's skill in capturing the interplay between light, landscape, and the daily lives of rural inhabitants. It remains an important work within the oeuvre of Barucci and is significant for its portrayal of a landscape that has undergone dramatic transformations throughout Italian history.
