EDITORS COMMENTS
The White Ox of Nannau, 1824" is a captivating oil painting by Daniel Clowes that depicts the magnificent prize ox owned by the Vaughan family. Measuring 60x85 cm, this artwork can be found in the National Museum Wales and showcases the grandeur of a stately home. In this masterpiece, Clowes skillfully captures the essence of rural life as he portrays Sion Dafydd, the family's cowman, standing proudly beside the majestic white ox. The inscription on the painting commemorates its eventual fate as it was roasted for consumption. The image transports us to an era where manor houses and mansions were symbols of wealth and power. The sprawling grounds surrounding this country house serve as a reminder of its vast estate and prosperous history. The sheer size and enormity of the bull are awe-inspiring. Its muscular physique commands attention while highlighting its significance within agricultural society during that time period. This commemorative piece not only celebrates an extraordinary animal but also pays homage to those who worked tirelessly to maintain such estates. Clowes' meticulous brushstrokes bring every detail to life - from each strand of hair on Sion Dafydd's head to every wrinkle on the ox's hide. This painting serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical preservation. "The White Ox of Nannau, 1824" is more than just a beautiful portrayal; it encapsulates an era gone by, reminding us of our connection with nature and our reliance on animals for sustenance.
