Beschreibung

The image shows a steel engraving titled The Valley Farm, created in 1849. It is based on a painting by John Constable, one of England's most celebrated landscape artists, known for his romantic depictions of rural life and natural beauty. The engraving was executed by J. C. Bentley, a prominent engraver renowned for translating fine artworks into prints with intricate detail. This scene depicts a picturesque farm along a tranquil river, with cattle grazing in the water and two figures in a small boat navigating the stream. Towering trees frame the composition, creating a harmonious interplay of light and shadow. The sky is dominated by dramatic clouds, a hallmark of Constable's work, symbolizing the grandeur and ever-changing nature of the English countryside. The text on the engraving states: "The Valley Farm. From the picture in the Vernon Gallery," crediting "J. Constable, R. A. painter" and "J. C. Bentley, engraver." The Vernon Gallery refers to the art collection donated by Robert Vernon to the National Gallery of London in the 19th century, showcasing works by leading British artists of the era.
