1865
Oil on canvas
Some of Aivazovksy's most charming works from the 1860s are set in his beloved Crimea. These are far removed from the drama of his turbulent seascapes, and almost unremarkable in their everyday subjects: a peasant family returning home from the fields in an ox-drawn cart; gathering corn at harvest time or, as in the present lot, a farmer tilling the soil. However, under Aivazovsky's brush, these canvases become a paean to his native land; images of a peaceful idyll often characterised by their flat, sweeping horizons and dominated by a vast expanse of sky (fig.1).
As with many of his Crimean views, Aivazovsky has chosen to set his composition during 'The Golden Hour' before sunset and gild the landscape with a warm, raking light. The artist uses this transformative light effect to pick out unexpected details, such as the farm-hand's joyful expression as he encourages the oxen on the last few lengths of the field, and the still life of objects in the lower right hand corner, a leitmotif which appears in an earlier composition, Gypsy Camp (1857, The Fine Art Museum, Yerevan).
Collectors often choose this landscape image when searching for landscape oil painting that feels substantial rather than decorative or disposable.
Expect subtle, hand-made variation rather than factory uniformity. Each landscape canvas is painted with oils, allowed to cure properly, and inspected before it is approved for shipment.
Wondering where landscape oil painting looks best? Try a dining room mantel, a dining room sideboard, or a hallway gallery wall. The landscape subject reads clearly from a distance and rewards close viewing up near.
In short: Ploughing the Fields, Crimea - Ivan Aivazovsky - Hand Painted Oil Painting combines a romantic composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for landscape oil painting and dining room wall art.
