Johann Georg Pforr’s "Viehherde mit zwei Hirten, bei einer Steinbrücke durch das Wasser schwimmend" is a pastoral scene depicting a herd of cattle being guided by two shepherds through a shallow river. The scene is set against a backdrop of a stone bridge and a picturesque landscape. The painting is housed in the Städel Museum, and showcases Pforr's mastery of depicting rural life with meticulous detail and soft, luminous colors. His work is characterized by a naturalistic approach, reminiscent of the Dutch Golden Age masters. The painting serves as a glimpse into the daily lives of the working class, highlighting the importance of cattle for their livelihoods. This piece is a prime example of Pforr's talent for capturing the beauty of the natural world and the intimate details of everyday life.
