About the Item

Attributed to Friedrich Voltz (1817–1886) – Bucolic Cattle Scene Artist: Attributed to Friedrich Voltz Period: 19th Century Medium: Oil on Canvas Dimensions: Framed: 35 x 40 cm Artwork: 25 x 31 cm No signatured Style: Romanticism / Barbizon School / Animal Painting This exquisite pastoral landscape, attributed to the esteemed German painter Friedrich Voltz, showcases a serene yet dynamic rural scene featuring cattle being herded along a shaded forest path. Voltz, celebrated for his mastery of atmospheric light and naturalistic animal depictions, was a key figure in 19th-century landscape and animal painting, particularly within the Munich School and the broader Barbizon tradition. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece highlights the artist’s sensitivity to nature, with rich tonal contrasts and delicate handling of light filtering through the foliage. The movement of the cattle, captured in fine detail and lifelike expressions, reflects Voltz’s deep understanding of animal anatomy and rural life. His works often depict tranquil pastoral settings infused with poetic realism, making this painting a remarkable example of 19th-century German Romanticism. The painting is elegantly framed in a period-style gilded frame, complementing its historical and aesthetic value. This work would make a distinguished addition to any collection of European landscape painting, Romantic art, or animal studies.
