EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Portraits of two extraordinary oxen, the property of the Earl of Powis" painted by James Ward in 1814. The oil on panel masterpiece measures an impressive 90.2x135.3 cm and is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art, thanks to the generous contribution from Paul Mellon Fund in the USA. The painting beautifully captures these magnificent creatures, highlighting their strength and elegance. The oxen's powerful presence is emphasized by their prominent horns, which add a touch of grandeur to their already imposing figures. Their muscular bodies exude a sense of vitality and grace that captivates viewers even centuries later. Ward's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, as he masterfully portrays each strand of hair on their coats with precision and realism. The artist's ability to capture not only their physical attributes but also their individual personalities makes this artwork truly exceptional. After undergoing careful conservation efforts, this stunning piece now shines brighter than ever before. It serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of James Ward and the historical significance placed upon these majestic animals during that era. As we admire this print today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand why these extraordinary oxen were treasured possessions belonging to one nobleman - reminding us once again how art has always been intertwined with history and culture.
