Bringing Home the Cattle – Coast of Florida 1879

Thomas Moran's "Bringing Home the Cattle – Coast of Florida" (1879) depicts a serene landscape scene of a cattle drive along a coastal path. The artist's signature Romantic style is evident in the dramatic, yet peaceful sky and the lush vegetation, which creates a sense of untamed wilderness. The scene captures the moment as the cattle herd is led through the Florida landscape, showcasing Moran's masterful ability to capture the beauty of nature. The painting's realistic portrayal of the cattle drive and the landscape evoke the feeling of a bygone era in the American West.
