The Old Water Mill, 1790
EDITORS COMMENTS
by George Morland is a captivating oil painting that transports viewers back in time to the peaceful countryside of 18th-century England. This exquisite print showcases the artist's mastery in capturing both the beauty and functionality of rural life. The focal point of the artwork is undoubtedly the old water mill itself, standing tall on the banks of a serene river. Its weathered wooden structure exudes history and character, while its large waterwheel hints at its vital role in powering various machinery within. The gentle flow of the stream adds a sense of tranquility to the scene, inviting us to imagine ourselves strolling along its banks or perhaps even dipping our toes into its cool waters. In this idyllic setting, we find a family crossing over a small bridge with their trusty donkey by their side. Dressed in humble peasant attire, they seem to be going about their daily routine amidst nature's splendor. Their presence reminds us of simpler times when communities relied on each other and worked harmoniously with nature for sustenance. This remarkable piece from Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection captures not only an era long gone but also celebrates humanity's deep connection with land and water. It serves as a timeless reminder that amidst technological advancements, there is still value in appreciating our natural surroundings and embracing simplicity.
