Kudde vee met twee koeien die elkaar likken 1762 - 1829

Jean Louis Demarne etched "Cows with two cows licking each other," capturing a moment of pastoral tranquility. The act of mutual grooming between the cows carries symbolic weight. Throughout history, the image of animals caring for each other has appeared across cultures. Consider, for instance, the ancient Roman depictions of Lupa suckling Romulus and Remus, a parallel to the compassion and nurturing seen in Demarne's cows. It represents communal support and a return to simpler, agrarian values, reflecting a longing for an uncomplicated past. Such imagery taps into our collective memory, evoking feelings of security and harmony. It embodies a cyclical pattern, reappearing to remind us of enduring human ideals.
