Mishap at the Ford, 1818
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Alvan Fisher that captures a dramatic moment in American history. The artwork depicts a scene of chaos and panic as a horse-drawn carriage attempts to cross a treacherous river ford. Frightened horses rear up on their hind legs, while the passengers inside the carriage cling onto each other in fear. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity of the situation through his masterful brushstrokes and use of light and shadow. The turbulent waters of the river add to the sense of danger, as does the looming landscape surrounding them. This genre painting beautifully encapsulates both the natural beauty and inherent risks associated with travel during this time period. Fisher's work not only showcases his artistic talent but also serves as an important historical document. It provides us with insight into transportation methods used in early 19th century America, where river crossings were often perilous endeavors. Displayed at the Corcoran Collection within Washington D. C. 's National Gallery of Art, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Fisher's artistry firsthand. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of how even seemingly routine journeys could quickly turn into harrowing experiences for our ancestors.
