The Pissing Cow, 1690s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching that transports viewers back to the vibrant art scene of the 17th century. Created by the talented Dutch artist Johann Teyler, this artwork showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of farm animals and their natural behavior. In this particular piece, Teyler focuses on a cow in mid-action as it relieves itself. The use of color adds an intriguing dimension to the etching, enhancing its visual impact and making it stand out among other works from that era. The cow's rich brown coat contrasts beautifully with the lush green surroundings, creating a harmonious composition. Teyler's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique. From the intricate lines defining each strand of fur to the subtle shading that gives depth to its form, he skillfully brings this bovine subject to life. This artwork not only celebrates rural life but also highlights Teyler's ability to capture moments often overlooked or deemed unworthy by others. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , "The Pissing Cow" serves as a testament to Teyler's contribution to Dutch art during the Golden Age. It reminds us that even mundane scenes can be transformed into extraordinary pieces through artistic vision and technical expertise. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of our connection with nature and how artists throughout history have sought inspiration from everyday occurrences. "The Pissing Cow" invites us to appreciate both beauty
