About the Item
John W. Morris (United Kingdom, 1865-1924)
Cows to pasture
Oil on canvas, 91 x 69 cm
John William Morris is a British artist best known for his landscape paintings and animal scenes set in the picturesque region of the Scottish Highlands, among the most fascinating in the entire United Kingdom. Often, the stars of his canvases are highlander cows, a breed typical of that area that is distinguished by its long, shaggy coat and lyre-developed horns. A true symbol of the Highlands, and, more generally, of the Scottish territory, these animals catalyze Morris's attention, who, in his commercially successful works since the end of the nineteenth century, makes them the protagonists. The landscape genre turns out to be one of the most popular in nineteenth-century English painting. The theme is interpreted by 19th-century British artists in various ways: from the idyllic, archaic landscape of classical tradition to the romantic landscape, a mirror of the artist's feelings and worldview rooted in a desire for expressive authenticity and thematic freedom. By mid-century, in Britain as in most other European states, a realist type of landscape emerged, based on the more faithful representation of nature and its atmospheric and seasonal changes, made possible by the practice of en plein air painting. English artists are also stimulated by contemporary discoveries that take place especially in the French sphere (the first exhibition of the Impressionists in France in 1874 is held in the workshop of the photographer Nadar): they, in light of recent innovations introduced in painting, experiment with new points of view, new techniques, different perspectives with changed sensibilities that go beyond the simple view, often landing in a new and fascinating vision.

'Spaniel and Sleeping Cat' , Unknown, Oil on Canvas Painting, 19th c.
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This classic English school 12 x 16 in. Oil on Canvas framed painting features a pet Spaniel and cat resting on a desk in a home study environment. The dog is seated, its body facing the right side of the painting while its head is facing the viewer at the picture plane. The Spaniel has a long haired black and white patterned coat. Its long ears are black and curly and face is mostly black with an area of white fur on its head and a strip of the white down the nose and into the chin. The stomach and legs/paws are mainly white, while his back and tail are both black, although its full body is not visible. The domestic cat is depicted sleeping to the right of the dog, both positioned on a green desk. The cat is sleeping horizontally with the composition, its head on the left and its curled up body and tail on the right. The cat has mainly grey fur with patches of white on its nose, neck and the one leg and one paw that is visible to the viewer.
The edge of the green desk, closest to the picture plane, meets with the bottom edge of the work and the left edge of the green table is only partially visible as the further half is cut off by the left side of the canvas. The desk is an olive green color and takes up the foreground of the piece. On the desk next to the cat is just a small corner of a singular document that reads "Young America" and then below that a couple of flourishes/ ornamental lines and the date, "1872." Behind the document, on the desk, are five standing books and two stacked books. The books appear to be up against the back wall that is depicted in the work, next to a hung landscape painting. The largest standing book's title is "Natural History," a greenish/blue hardback book with a maroon red strip where the title and author's name is on the book's spine. A smaller book standing on the right of "Natural History" is a copy of "Robinson Crusoe," a darker green hardback with a strip of silver for title and author upon the spine. To the left of "Natural History" is an untitled book and to the left is a copy of "Arabian Nights," a tan hardback with red/orange at the title and author's name. To the left of "Arabian Nights" is another untitled book. The two books laid on the desk, on the right side of the standing books, are both tan/light brown books...
