About the Item

"The Country Stable" After a painting by George Morland. 1763-1804. - Mezzotint engraving by William Ward. 1766-1826. Print: 20.75" x 26" - With Frame: 28.5" x 34" Published: March 1, 1792, by D. Orme H., No. 14 Old Bond Street, E Walker No. 7 Cornhill, and J. F. Tomkins No. 49 Near Bond Street, London, UK. Frame: 1-1/2" wood molding, triple mat, glass About the Artist: George Morland (1763-1804) was an English painter and printmaker renowned for his idyllic representations of country life, pastoral scenes, and animals, which captured the imagination of the late 18th-century British public. A child prodigy tutored by his father, artist Henry Robert Morland, George developed his unique style early on. His subjects often included the daily lives of peasants and smugglers, which he portrayed with a sympathetic realism that was somewhat novel for his time. Morland's work is noted for its vibrant use of color, skilled brushwork, and ability to convey texture, lending his paintings a lively, almost tactile quality. His compositions are dynamic yet intimate, often featuring rustic settings that evoke a sense of nostalgia and tranquility. Despite his artistic success, Morland led a tumultuous life, marked by financial instability and struggles with alcoholism. Today, Morland's paintings and prints are considered significant contributions to British art, capturing the socio-cultural atmosphere of his era. His works are collected internationally and featured in prestigious institutions, offering a window into the pastoral and genre scenes of the late Georgian period. His prints, such as "The Fern Gatherers," reflect the enduring appeal of his artistry and continue to be sought after by collectors worldwide. Engraver: William Ward was an English engraver, renowned for his mezzotint engravings. Trained by and related to the engraver James Heath, Ward specialized in portraits and domestic scenes. He famously collaborated with painter George Morland, translating Morland's paintings into widely appreciated engravings. Ward's works, known for their fine detail and artistic quality, significantly contributed to the popularity of mezzotint in late 18th and early 19th century England. His engravings remain important for their historical and artistic value.
