I have it hung on my wall. It makes me giggle. If anyone has more pictures of this style please do link them.
Where did it come from? I really want a collection of oversized square-ass animals to hang up in my office now.
I’ve heard they were commissioned by land owners to show off how big their animals were. So basically like having a really expensive sports car.

That’s a wall of beef. It’s like the painter hadn’t ever seen a bull, but just had a vague description and extrapolated.
Showing off the giant bulls or hogs bred on your estate was a way for rich English guys to flex back in the early 1800s.
The cow was massive, and the patron wanted the artist to make it look even bigger.
Why tf do some pages reimplement scrolling in JS?!
Now, knowing this information, I love it even more. Thank you!
It’s the most wonderful rendition ever. The confused stare is what gets me. Every time.
Funniest shit ever
Hahaha look, it’s Kevin the Beefsquare
I’ve got a print of this beauty framed, hanging on my wall.
Ahhh… A squeep.
Oh my god.
This has to be same artist, hasn’t it?
Looks like it. His name is William Henry Davis
This is the quiet moment before the guy on the right sticks his head up its ass to grade the beef
Yep, and you just take his word for it.
No wait. It’s got to be your bull.
I like how one guy is pointing at its ass and the other is clearly taking ass notes
And this one
counts nothings.Obviously pointing at tophat slenderman
Knowing capitalism, this would only lead to a sudden mass retiring of bulls whose meat would be left to rot in some obscure location.
That’d be a reference absolute unit
Leave it to beeve 'er
Now let the mathematicians fight over whether you should approximate that as a “let’s assume a perfectly spherical cow” or rather as a… cube? A prism?
I could go for a chonker shank right now.
He thiccccc
Absolute rectangle
chunky boi
Me: Did you eat my sofa? Cow: nooo
