Painting Description
"The Slaughtered Ox" is a painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1655 during the artist's mature period. This work, also known as "Flayed Ox" or "The Carcass of Beef," is an oil on canvas and depicts a butchered ox hung by its hind legs, with its bare flesh exposed and the carcass dominating the composition. The painting is noted for its striking realism, dramatic use of light and shadow, and its rich, earthy palette, which is characteristic of Rembrandt's work from this period.
Measuring 95.5 cm × 68.8 cm, the painting is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. "The Slaughtered Ox" is considered one of Rembrandt's most powerful still lifes, although it borders on genre painting due to the inclusion of domestic elements and possibly a figure in the dim background, which suggests a narrative context. The work reflects Rembrandt's fascination with the natural world and his mastery in portraying the textures and complexities of flesh and blood.
The painting has been interpreted in various ways, with some scholars suggesting that it may carry deeper, symbolic meanings related to human mortality, sacrifice, or the ephemerality of life. Others view it as a simple depiction of everyday life in 17th-century Holland, showcasing Rembrandt's interest in capturing the ordinary in a profound and dignified manner. "The Slaughtered Ox" remains a significant example of Rembrandt's skill in transforming a mundane subject into a subject of contemplation, demonstrating his ability to evoke emotion and invite philosophical reflection through his art.
