The Cross Road, 1850
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that encapsulates the essence of rural life in 19th century Britain. Painted by the esteemed artist David Cox the elder, this landscape masterpiece showcases a scene filled with natural beauty and human activity. The cloudy sky sets the tone for an atmospheric day as people go about their daily routines. In this vast countryside setting, we see men on horseback guiding a flock of sheep along a lane while a shepherd directs his trusty sheepdog. A lady points towards an unseen direction, perhaps indicating the way forward or engaging in conversation with her companions. The presence of horses and birds adds to the liveliness of this snapshot from history. The painting's composition draws attention to the crossroads at its center, symbolizing choices and different paths one can take in life. It invites contemplation on decisions made and opportunities missed. As viewers immerse themselves in this artwork, they are transported back to a simpler time when agriculture played a vital role in society. This particular print is part of Frederick John Nettleford's extensive collection documented meticulously by C. Reginald Grundy and F. Gordon Roe in their catalogue published in 1933. Preserved through time, it serves as both an artistic treasure and historical artifact that allows us to appreciate Cox's talent while gaining insight into British art during the 19th century.
