More about this artwork

"The Weary Ploughman," crafted by the adept hands of Samuel Palmer in 1858, is an evocative etching that delves deep into the pastoral life, encapsulating the essence of rural toil and natural beauty. This piece portrays the end of a day's labor, where a ploughman, still holding onto his plough, guides his oxen through a darkening landscape. The horizon is crowned by a radiant setting sun, partially obscured by brooding clouds, casting a gentle yet melancholic light over the scene.Palmer's mastery is evident in the meticulous details of the weary oxen and the delicate textures of the surrounding foliage and earth. The scene resonates with a profound sense of exhaustion yet also carries an air of undeniable perseverance and connection to the land. This artwork invites viewers to contemplate the relentless yet rhythmic pace of agrarian life, highlighting the deep, often overlooked, bond between humans and nature.
