Cows (Koeien) (1916) by Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. Giclee Print on Museum Quality Matte Paper. Premium Wood Framed Wall Art.

Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita's "Cows (Koeien)" (1916) is a striking example of the artist's mastery of woodcut technique, a medium through which he explored the natural world with a profound sensitivity and precision. De Mesquita, a Dutch artist of Sephardic Jewish descent, was a pivotal figure in the early 20th-century art scene in the Netherlands. Born in 1868 in Amsterdam, he was a contemporary and mentor to the renowned M.C. Escher.

De Mesquita's life was marked by the turbulence of his times, living through the artistic revolutions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and tragically, the horrors of World War II, during which he perished in Auschwitz in 1944. His work is characterized by a unique blend of naturalism and stylization, often reflecting a philosophical approach that sought to capture the essence and spirit of his subjects, rather than mere representation.

In "Cows," de Mesquita employs the woodcut technique to distill the form of the animals into bold, expressive lines, creating a rhythm and movement that transcend the static nature of the medium. The genre is a synthesis of realism and expressionism, focusing on the subject matter of pastoral life, which he approached with both reverence and an analytical eye. The piece is significant in the art world for its technical prowess and its embodiment of de Mesquita's artistic ethos. The original is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, serving as a testament to his enduring influence and the tragic loss of a visionary artist.
