Giovanni Fattori's "Farmer with ox cart" is an oil on canvas painting depicting a farmer with two oxen and an ox cart. The artwork is known for its bold brushstrokes and its focus on the everyday lives of working-class people in rural Italy. The painting was completed in 1900 and is currently housed in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy. Fattori was a member of the Macchiaioli, a group of Italian Realist painters who were known for their use of color and light. The subject matter of the painting is reminiscent of the Macchiaioli movement and captures the essence of rustic Italian life.
