More about this artwork
"Landscape with Horses, Farmer and Dog" (1794) by George Morland is a charming depiction of rustic life in the 18th century. This picturesque scene captures the tranquil essence of the countryside, illustrating the harmony between humans and nature. Painted with delicate strokes and a keen eye for detail, Morland presents two majestic horses in motion, their forms elegantly rendered against the softly shaded backdrop of trees and foliage.On the left side of the painting, a farmer, clad in a red jacket, appears engaged in a moment of interaction with his dog, creating a sense of everyday rural activity. The artist's use of light and shadow, combined with the earthy tones of the landscape, evokes a warm, almost nostalgic atmosphere.

George Morland (26 June 1763 – 29 October 1804) was an English painter. His early work was influenced by Francis Wheatley, but after the 1790s he came into his own style. His best compositions focus on rustic scenes: farms and hunting; smugglers and gypsies; and rich, textured landscapes informed by Dutch Golden Age painting.
