Description: | The main theme of Hedley's later paintings was crafts and labour in the North of England. Oddly for a Tyneside painter, he avoided showing factories, and concentrated on work in villages and country towns. This is one of several scenes showing the interior of a barn. The workers are shown beating the corn with their threshing implements or flails. Hedley brilliantly captures the way in which the sunlight is caught by the dust from the corn. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1898 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Ralph Hedley | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
