The Mid Day Retreat, c1845
EDITORS COMMENTS
by William Frederick Witherington captures a serene moment in the heart of an enchanting English woodland. In this idyllic scene, we are transported to a time when agriculture and farming were integral parts of rural life. As the scorching summer sun beats down on the land, a group of hardworking men seek respite from their laborious tasks. Underneath the cool shade provided by towering trees, these weary farmers find solace amidst nature's embrace. A flock of sheep grazes peacefully nearby while their loyal collie dog keeps watch over them. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushstrokes bring to life every detail – from the lush greenery surrounding them to the drowsy expressions on their faces. This painting not only showcases Witherington's artistic prowess but also encapsulates a quintessential Victorian concept: finding tranquility in harmony with nature. It serves as a reminder that even during bustling times, it is essential for humans and animals alike to take moments of rest and rejuvenation. As we gaze upon this print today, we can almost feel the heat radiating off the canvas and hear the rustling leaves overhead. "The Mid Day Retreat" transports us back to 19th-century Britain, offering us a glimpse into an era where man and beast sought shelter together under nature's protective canopy – a timeless testament to our enduring connection with both art and our natural surroundings.
