"Herd Crossing At Ford" is a notable painting by the Swiss artist Rudolf Koller, who is often celebrated as one of the most important animal painters of the 19th century. Created in 1868, this work exemplifies Koller's meticulous attention to detail and his profound ability to capture the essence of rural life and the natural world. The painting depicts a serene yet dynamic scene of cattle being driven across a shallow river ford, a common sight in the pastoral landscapes of Switzerland during that era.

Koller's mastery in portraying animals is evident in the lifelike representation of the cattle, each rendered with individual characteristics and expressions. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the realism of the scene, creating a vivid sense of movement and depth. The tranquil water of the ford reflects the surrounding landscape, adding to the overall harmony and balance of the composition.

The background of the painting features a lush, verdant landscape, typical of the Swiss countryside, with rolling hills and a clear, expansive sky. This setting not only provides a picturesque backdrop but also emphasizes the close relationship between humans, animals, and nature that was central to rural life at the time. The herdsman, guiding the cattle across the ford, is depicted with a sense of calm authority, underscoring the symbiotic relationship between man and beast.

"Herd Crossing At Ford" is housed in the Kunsthaus Zürich, one of Switzerland's most prominent art museums. The painting is considered a quintessential example of Koller's work and is highly regarded for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of 19th-century rural life. Through this piece, Koller has left an enduring legacy that continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
