EDITORS COMMENTS
Skinned Head of an Ox" is a compelling and thought-provoking oil painting created between 1688 and 1691 by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya, in collaboration with the Italian artist Felice Boselli, also known as Felice Boselli the Elder or Felice Botelli the Elder. This masterpiece, a striking example of the Baroque period, is currently housed in the National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen, under the name Statens Museum for Kunst. The painting depicts the raw, skinned head of an ox, its eyes blank and expressionless, lying on a rough wooden table. The ox's head is surrounded by various tools and implements used for butchering, adding to the sense of the transience of life and the inevitability of death. The background is dark and empty, drawing the viewer's focus to the central image. The painting is a powerful example of the Vanitas genre, which uses symbolic objects to contemplate the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of death. The ox's head, a common symbol of strength and labor, serves as a reminder that even the strongest and most vital beings are subject to decay and mortality. The collaboration between Goya and Boselli resulted in a unique fusion of their artistic styles, with Goya's mastery of light and shadow and Boselli's expertise in anatomical detail. The painting's rich, vibrant colors and intricate brushwork add to its visual appeal and depth. Despite its origins in the 17th century, "Skinned Head of an Ox" remains a relevant and thought-provoking work of art, inviting viewers to reflect on the passage of time, the fragility of life, and the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
