EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Oxen at the tank, Geneva" transports us to a serene scene in Switzerland. Created by the talented artist Edwin Landseer and published in Modern Art, Second Series edited by James Dafforne around 1880, this print captures a moment of tranquility amidst bustling city life. The focal point of the image is a group of oxen gathered around a water tank. The magnificent creatures are depicted with remarkable detail, their powerful bodies and expressive faces capturing our attention. As they quench their thirst from the tank's cool waters, we can almost hear the gentle sound of bells hanging from their necks. In the background, we see Geneva's architectural beauty blending harmoniously with nature. A woman wearing an elegant hat stands nearby, observing these majestic animals with curiosity and perhaps admiration for their strength and grace. Landseer's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to this enchanting scene. The play of sunlight on the water creates shimmering reflections that further enhance its realism. This engraving not only showcases Landseer's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of humanity's connection to nature. It invites us to appreciate moments like these when even ordinary activities such as cattle drinking become extraordinary through artistry.
