Rund before 1650

Antonio Tempesta's "Rund" is a detailed engraving from the 17th century, depicting a majestic ox in profile with a long, flowing mane. The work is a prime example of the artist's mastery of naturalism, evident in the intricate rendering of the animal's musculature and texture. The background, though subtle, adds depth to the composition with its depiction of a rolling landscape. The small figures of other animals in the distance further emphasize the scale and presence of the ox. This work can be found in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
