Going to the Hayfield, 1853
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a picturesque English countryside scene with remarkable attention to detail. Painted by David Cox in oil on millboard, this print showcases the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of rural life during the Victorian era. The composition depicts a group of farmers making their way towards a vast hayfield. The undulating landscape stretches as far as the eye can see, dotted with fluffy clouds and buffeted by a gentle wind. A sense of tranquility permeates through the image, evoking a peacefulness that is often associated with rural settings. In the foreground, two horses lead the way while their farmer guides them forward. A loyal dog accompanies them on their journey, faithfully trotting alongside his master. The presence of these animals adds an element of liveliness and companionship to an otherwise serene scene. As we observe this idyllic countryside moment frozen in time, one cannot help but appreciate Cox's meticulous brushwork and use of color. The vibrant greens of the fields contrast beautifully against darker hues used for shading and depth. This print from Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection serves as a captivating window into Victorian peasant life and agricultural practices. It reminds us of simpler times when hard work was intertwined with nature's bounty – where harvesting hay was not just laborious but also an opportunity to connect with both land and community.
