Chaim Soutine (1893 – 1943) was a French-Russian painter who was known for his expressive portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. He developed his own distinct style which favored mood, expression, texture, and color over classical representational painting. That being said, Soutine was highly influenced by the Old Masters of representational painting, particularly that of Rembrandt and Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin. When he emigrated to Paris, he spent many hours in the Louvre studying the aforementioned artists’ works. Rembrandt’s Slaughtered Ox painting had a profound impact on Soutine and inspired him to create his own series of similar paintings known as the “Carcass of Beef”.
