Description: | Pre-industrial cottage industries as subjects for Victorian art were often painted in a nostalgic manner. Special attention was paid to the home, which was often simple and rustic, and the surrounding countryside was shown with luscious fields and trees and the prettiest flowers. As the overcrowded and smoky towns grew to support industry, artists romanticised older ways of living and working on the land.
Oil painting of a house and lane. The house, glowing red in the sunlight, is surrounded by grass and trees. Two figures stand at the gate to the house. Another figure walks on the path as it curves into the distance. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Arts and Museums Service | Subjects: | Fine arts Oil painting Oil Paintings Victorian period Art collections | Temporal: | 1858 - 1892
