Peasant Life Wall Art

WALL ART

2,701 artworks

Rural labour and village custom became a serious subject for painters from the sixteenth century onward, moving gradually from background detail to the main event of a composition. Sowing, harvest, market days and cottage interiors offered artists scenes of work and rest outside city and court, often idealised and sometimes pointedly not. Nineteenth-century Realism took up the theme with particular seriousness, treating field labourers with a gravity previously reserved for historical or religious figures. Regional costume and custom were recorded alongside the labour itself, giving these images documentary as well as artistic interest. The archive holds this range from earlier genre scenes through to later rural realism.
