EDITORS COMMENTS
Dining in the Hayfields (surprised by Mr Thornhills chaplain) captures a moment of unexpected drama and surprise amidst a peaceful countryside setting. This oil on canvas print, created by Charles Reuben Ryley in the late 18th century, showcases a scene from Oliver Goldsmith's renowned novel, The Vicar of Wakefield. In this particular chapter VIII titled 'Dining in the Hayfields, ' we witness an intriguing encounter that leaves viewers intrigued and curious about what unfolds next. As the characters gather for a rustic meal surrounded by nature's beauty, they are suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Mr Thornhill's chaplain. The expressions on their faces reveal shock, alarm, and even swooning as they react to this unforeseen presence. Ryley skillfully portrays this dramatic moment with his attention to detail and use of theatrical gestures. The composition draws us into the interior space where we can almost feel the tension building up within each character. From the priest's commanding presence to the fainting female figure caught mid-swoon, every element adds depth to this narrative-driven artwork. This exquisite piece is housed at Yale Center for British Art as part of their esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. Its small size of 28x35 cm invites close examination while still managing to convey its powerful impact. A true testament to both Ryley's artistic talent and Goldsmith's literary genius, Dining in the Hayfields continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure.
