More about this artwork

"The Ferry" by Francis Danby, circa 1840, offers a glimpse into a peaceful, pastoral moment captured in delicate pencil lines. This engaging sketch portrays the timelessness of rural life, where people and animals are inextricably linked to the rhythms of nature. In the center of the composition, a ferryboat calmly transports a horse and several figures across a gently flowing river, highlighting the essential role that waterways played in everyday 19th-century transportation. On the far bank, trees rise softly into the sky, while on the nearer shore, a woman with a basket stands by the water's edge, possibly waiting to cross. Danby's artwork captures not only an ordinary moment in country life but also the tranquility and dependence on nature's elements that characterized the era.

Francis Danby (16 November 1793 – 9 February 1861) was an Irish painter of the Romantic era. His imaginative, dramatic landscapes were comparable to those of John Martin. Danby initially developed his imaginative style while he was the central figure in a group of artists who have come to be known as the Bristol School. His period of greatest success was in London in the 1820s.
