EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Soldiers Refreshing" transports viewers back to the early 19th century. Created by John Augustus Atkinson in approximately 1805, this artwork captures a serene moment amidst the chaos of military life. The scene unfolds in a rural landscape, where soldiers on horseback have momentarily halted their journey at a quaint public house. The soldiers dismount from their horses and gather around an inviting tavern sign that swings gently in the breeze. This unexpected break offers them respite from their arduous duties and allows them to replenish both themselves and their loyal steeds. Atkinson's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays each soldier engaged in various activities during this brief pause. Some can be seen enjoying refreshments inside the inn while others tend to their horses or engage in lively conversations with fellow comrades. The artist's mastery of light and shadow brings depth and realism to every element within the composition - from the rustic building itself to the surrounding countryside teeming with wildlife. Through his brushstrokes, Atkinson not only captures a snapshot of daily life for these troops but also evokes a sense of camaraderie and tranquility amid the demanding nature of military service. Displayed proudly within Nottingham City Museums and Galleries' collection, this remarkable painting serves as a testament to Atkinson's artistic prowess as well as an intriguing glimpse into history.
