Even though Paulus Potter (1625-1654) died at the age of 28, he managed to produce about 100 paintings, including many pastoral scenes with cattle.
Interestingly, the different parts of the bull could never have belonged to the same animal: He has the horns of a two-year-old, the teeth of a four-year-old, the shoulders of a fully grown adult bull, and the hindsight of a youngster.
Potter probably painted The bull from his drawings and studies of different bulls, instead of a single model.

In our northern school, you have Rembrandt, who heads that school because his influence may be seen in anyone who comes to know him more closely.
Thus we find Paulus Potter painting rutting and excited animals in equally exciting landscapes - in a thunderstorm, in the sunshine, in the melancholy of autumn - while that selfsame Paulus Potter, before he came to know Rembrandt, was rather dry and over-fussy.
Moreover, the material problems of the painter's life make it desirable that painters should collaborate and unite (much as they did in the days of the Guilds of St. Luke).

Landscape, The Spinner, and the Portrait of Paulus Potter were created after famous Dutch paintings by the American wood engraver Timothy Cole in the late nineteenth century as part of a larger publication.
The technique, which comprises curvilinear lines and shadows, contributes to the feeling of serenity that even the viewer is able to feel.
It is interesting that Cole chose to recreate the image of an artist painted by another artist, a theme that allowed Cole to draw parallels between his role as a copyist and that of Van Der Helst.
