EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hob Taken Out of Ye Well, c. 1726" takes us back to a rural setting in the Georgian era. Painted by John Laguerre, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 89.5x92.7 cm and is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. The scene depicted in this artwork portrays a dramatic moment - Hob, a young child, being rescued from a well. The atmosphere is chillingly cold as he stands there shocked and shivering in his nightdress. His parents anxiously watch over him, their faces filled with relief and concern. Laguerre's attention to detail brings out the raw emotions felt during this incident; you can almost feel Hob's fear and vulnerability through his expression. The artist skillfully captures the play of light against the dark backdrop of nightfall, adding an eerie yet beautiful touch to the composition. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of both human resilience and parental love that transcends time periods. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in moments of distress, hope can be found amidst darkness.
