The Flayed Ox

The Flayed Ox (Le Bœuf écorché) or The Slaughtered Ox is a 1925 oil on canvas painting by Chaïm Soutine, inspired by the painting of the same name by Rembrandt. Measuring 2.02 m by 1.14 m, it is now in the Museum of Grenoble, which bought it in 1932 from the galerie Pierre-Loeb.^[1]

It is part of a series of paintings produced on the same subject in the same era with the same title by Soutine, now split between different museums and private collections across the world, notably in Minneapolis and Amsterdam.^[2] Jean-Marc Rochette reproduced it several times in his autobigoraphical 2018 comic Ailefroide, altitude 3954.
