"Ancient Celts or Gauls Sacrificing a Cow, c.1800-18" is a historical painting by the Italian artist Vittorio Raineri, also known as Il Mosca. Created in the early 19th century, this artwork delves into the ancient rituals of the Celtic or Gallic people, depicting a ceremonial sacrifice of a cow, an animal often associated with wealth and fertility in various ancient cultures. Raineri, who was active during the Neoclassical period, was known for his attention to historical detail and his interest in the customs and practices of ancient civilizations.

The painting reflects the 19th-century European fascination with classical antiquity and the romanticized view of the past. Raineri's work is characterized by its dramatic composition, vivid portrayal of the figures involved in the ritual, and the use of lighting to emphasize the solemnity of the occasion. The artist's choice to illustrate a sacrificial scene may also reflect contemporary scholarly interest in the religious practices of the Celts and Gauls, which were being rediscovered and reevaluated at the time through archaeological findings and historical texts.

While the exact dimensions and current location of "Ancient Celts or Gauls Sacrificating a Cow" are not specified, the painting is an example of Raineri's broader body of work, which contributed to the visual culture of the Neoclassical movement in Italy.
