EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Ryelands Sheep, accompanied by the regal Kings Ram, the elegant Kings Ewe, and Lord Somervilles Wether. Painted between 1801-07 by James Ward, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 45.1x61.6 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. The image captures a moment of tranquility as these magnificent animals stand proudly against a serene backdrop. The artist's attention to detail is evident in their lifelike depictions; every strand of wool seems to come alive under his brushstrokes. Ryelands Sheep are known for their distinctive appearance with dense white fleeces that envelop them like fluffy clouds. They have become synonymous with English countryside landscapes and evoke a sense of pastoral charm. In this composition, they are joined by two other notable figures - the Kings Ram and Ewe - symbolizing nobility and power. Their presence adds an air of grandeur to an already enchanting scene. Lord Somerville's Wether completes this picturesque tableau, standing alongside its companions with grace and poise. Together, these four creatures epitomize beauty, strength, and elegance within the animal kingdom. This remarkable artwork not only celebrates nature's splendor but also serves as a testament to James Ward's artistic prowess. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today as it stands as a testament to British art history.
