Golden Calf - cow gold burgundy red curious rural life fine art interior oil on canvas animal realism Painting

The painting "Golden Calf" is an exclusive work of art, it does not belong to any series, and rather controversial. On the one hand, this is a high-quality, realistic painting with great attention to details and elaboration, on the other hand, a primed unbleached canvas immerses us in the atmosphere of a village farm and rural life, and on the verge of these two textures we see a golden halo. Gold is not here by chance. See how the contrasting decorative background makes the calf itself realistic! This animal comes alive from the surface of the canvas and makes it almost tangible experience for the viewer in comparison with the smooth plane of gold texture. But the most expressive, despite the above qualities, is the facial expression of the calf being portrayed. We see from a frightened but curious look that the calf has only recently got to its feet and learned to walk, we see his curious greedy nose absorbing all the smells, studying the world around him! His angular, but natural posture and protruding ear says that everything is new to him and everything is interesting. This work of fine art is about what a person so often loses with age: freshness of perception, interest in new things, exploration of the surrounding world, living life in the moment. These qualities are related to the young years and become dull over time. No wonder the second working title of this painting is "Youth". Painting: Oil on Canvas.
