The Sinews of Old England, 1857
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that beautifully captures the essence of Victorian domestic life. The painting depicts a content and happy couple, husband and wife, basking in their married bliss. Standing proudly on their porch, they embody the epitome of love and sentimental attachment. The husband, a strong manual laborer with a pickaxe in hand, represents brute strength and hard work. He stands beside his wife who holds a child in her arms while clutching a spade - symbolizing the nurturing nature of motherhood. Behind them lies an idyllic English cottage with its quaint doorway. Inside the cottage's kitchen stands an old-fashioned dresser filled with cherished belongings. This scene evokes feelings of warmth and happiness as it portrays the simple pleasures found within domesticity. The artist George Elgar Hicks skillfully uses watercolor and bodycolor techniques to bring this image to life. With gum arabic on paper, he creates delicate details that enhance the overall sentimentality portrayed in this artwork. "The Sinews of Old England" serves as both an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts and as a historical representation of Victorian family values. It reminds us of the importance placed on love, companionship, hard work, and contentment during that era.
