Sunlight reflects off the white horse in the middle of this scene, drawing the viewers eye.

Haymaking, 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
by John Atkinson captures the essence of a rural summer scene with its vibrant colors and picturesque landscape. This oil on canvas print, measuring 51x76.3 cm, is housed in the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The painting depicts a timeless agricultural practice that took place during late June or July when favorable weather conditions were expected. The artist beautifully portrays horses diligently working amidst fields of cut grass left to dry before collection. Atkinson's signature style shines through as sunlight reflects off a majestic white horse at the center of the composition, captivating the viewer's attention. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is how Atkinson skillfully places the horse slightly off-center, creating a sense of movement within an otherwise tranquil setting. As one gazes upon this piece, they are transported to a bygone era where farming was labor-intensive yet harmonious with nature. This early 20th-century masterpiece showcases not only Atkinson's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to England's rich agricultural heritage. It encapsulates the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals in their pursuit of sustenance from the land. As you admire "Haymaking, 1900" let yourself be immersed in its idyllic charm and appreciate how it pays homage to an essential aspect of rural life while simultaneously celebrating nature's beauty and tranquility.
