EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Marten van Cleve's masterpiece, "Le boeuf abattu - The Slaughtered Ox". Painted in 1566, this oil on wood artwork measures 68x53.5 cm and is currently housed in the Art History Museum in Vienna. The painting transports us to a bustling butcher shop during the Renaissance period. A skilled craftsman, depicted as a man with his sleeves rolled up, expertly dissects an enormous ox with precision and care. His focused expression reveals the dedication required for his job. Intriguingly, a dog eagerly awaits its share of meat while observing the scene attentively. The presence of blood and an axe emphasize the rawness of this profession. Amidst this lively atmosphere, we notice a child curiously peering over the counter—a testament to how early these skills were passed down through generations. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke captures textures and colors that bring life to each element within the composition. From bottles filled with various liquids used for preservation or seasoning to plates displaying cuts of beef ready for consumption—this painting immerses viewers into a world where food production was both artful and essential. Van Cleve's Flemish heritage shines through in his meticulous rendering of everyday scenes like these—an ode to Belgium's rich artistic tradition. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Van Cleve's technical skill but also provides insight into historical trades that shaped
