Dit landschapsschilderij vangt de ruïnes van de abdij in een uitgestrekt, golvend landschap, weergegeven in bleke tinten.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJames Wards \"Melrose Abbey\" presenteert een panoramisch uitzicht op de Schotse abdijruïnes in een uitgestrekt, golvend landschap. Ward, een Engelse schilder die bekend staat om zijn dierschilderijen en landschappen, brengt een romantisch gevoel in deze afbeelding. De abdij, weergegeven in bleke tinten, domineert het middenplan; haar gotische architectuur wordt verzacht door de afstand en het atmosferisch perspectief. De voorgrond toont het plattelandsleven, met figuren en vee die de scène bevolken, wat een gevoel van schaal en menselijke aanwezigheid toevoegt. De compositie is gestructureerd om het oog vanaf de voorgrond, met zijn aardse tinten en gedetailleerde figuren, naar de lichtere, meer etherische abdij en de verre heuvels te leiden. De lucht, een mengeling van geel en blauw, suggereert een helder, mogelijk vroeg ochtendlicht dat de scène in een warme gloed baadt. De bomen, die de rechterkant van de compositie omlijsten, voegen diepte en een gevoel van beslotenheid toe, terwijl ze de blik van de kijker ook naar het centrale onderwerp leiden. Wards techniek combineert precieze details met een lossere, meer schilderachtige benadering, vooral in de lucht en het verre landschap, wat een evenwicht creëert tussen realisme en romantiek.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook leuk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/view-at-epsom-john-constable\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eView at Epsom door John Constable\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/west-facade-of-the-ruins-of-eldena-caspar-david-friedrich\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWest facade of the ruins of Eldena door Caspar David Friedrich\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJames Ward prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57588476281167,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57588547125583,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57588547158351,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57588547191119,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57588547223887,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57588547256655,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57588547289423,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57588547322191,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57588547354959,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57588547387727,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57588547420495,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57588547453263,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57588547486031,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57588547518799,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57588547551567,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57588547584335,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57588547617103,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57588547649871,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57588547682639,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57588547715407,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_a02fc8fb-6b17-41af-b205-99db7ab21cd3-q80.jpg?v=1793728400"},{"product_id":"the-swineherd-james-ward","title":"De varkenshoeder -

Het kunstwerk toont Wards oog voor detail en zijn vermogen om de essentie van het plattelandsleven vast te leggen.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJames Wards \"The Swineherd\" presenteert een scène uit het plattelandsleven, waarin een man wordt afgebeeld die naast zijn varkens rust. De compositie is zorgvuldig opgebouwd, met de varkenshoeder zittend op een vat, zijn hond aan zijn zijde en de varkens verzameld rond een trog met groenten. Wards aandacht voor detail is duidelijk zichtbaar in de weergave van de figuren en dieren, evenals in de uitbeelding van de rustieke omgeving. Het kleurenpalet is ingetogen, met aardetinten die de scène domineren, wat een gevoel van realisme en authenticiteit creëert. Het schilderij weerspiegelt de interesse van de kunstenaar in dierlijke onderwerpen en zijn vermogen om de essentie van het plattelandsleven vast te leggen. Ward was een productief schilder en graveur, bekend om zijn dierenschilderijen en landschappen. Hij werd beïnvloed door het werk van eerdere kunstenaars, zoals George Morland en Paul Potter, maar ontwikkelde zijn eigen kenmerkende stijl. Wards schilderijen verbeelden vaak scènes uit het plattelandsleven, met een focus op dieren en hun relatie tot mensen. Hij was lid van de Royal Academy en exposeerde zijn werk regelmatig gedurende zijn hele carrière. \"The Swineherd\" is een prachtig voorbeeld van Wards vaardigheid als schilder en zijn vermogen om de schoonheid en eenvoud van het plattelandsleven vast te leggen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook leuk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/bargaining-for-sheep-george-morland\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBargaining for Sheep door George Morland\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/the-village-maidens-gustave-courbet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Village Maidens door Gustave Courbet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eKunstwerken van James Ward →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602277441871,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602284716367,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602284749135,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602284781903,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602284814671,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602284847439,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602284880207,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602284912975,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602284945743,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602284978511,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602285011279,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602285044047,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602285076815,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602285109583,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602285142351,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602285175119,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602285207887,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602285240655,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602285273423,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602285306191,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_218e2357-f21f-4e05-b484-5aedd164ecbf-q80.jpg?v=1793808050"},{"product_id":"intruder-james-ward","title":"Indringer -

De aardse tinten en zachte belichting creëren een naturalistische sfeer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJames Ward, een Britse schilder geboren in 1769, stond bekend om zijn vaardigheid in dierschilderijen en zijn dramatische, vaak romantische stijl. Wards artistieke oeuvre omvatte uiteenlopende onderwerpen, van portretten tot historische taferelen, maar hij wordt het meest geprezen om zijn afbeeldingen van dieren, in het bijzonder paarden en vee. Zijn werk brengt vaak een gevoel van beweging en energie over, waarbij de essentie van de diervorm met opmerkelijke nauwkeurigheid wordt vastgelegd. Wards schilderijen weerspiegelen de invloed van zowel de oude meesters als zijn tijdgenoten, waarbij traditionele technieken worden gecombineerd met een modernere gevoeligheid. 'Intruder' presenteert een boerenerf vol verschillende dieren. Een grote, gevlekte koe staat prominent in het midden, terwijl een ezel en een paard op de achtergrond zichtbaar zijn. Een hond komt op de voorgrond uit een omgevallen emmer tevoorschijn, wellicht de 'indringer' uit de titel. De compositie is zo ingericht dat er een gevoel van diepte ontstaat, waarbij de dieren op verschillende afstanden van de toeschouwer zijn geplaatst. Het kleurenpalet wordt gedomineerd door aardse tinten, waarbij bruin-, crème- en gedempte groentinten een naturalistische sfeer creëren. De belichting is zacht en diffuus, wat het algehele gevoel van realisme versterkt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook leuk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/longhorn-bull-in-a-landscape-rosa-bonheur\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLonghorn Bull in a Landscape van Rosa Bonheur\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/cows-at-the-watering-constant-troyon\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCows at the Watering van Constant Troyon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJames Ward kunstwerken →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602319515983,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602328625487,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602328658255,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602328691023,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57602328723791,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602328756559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602328789327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602328822095,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602328854863,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602328887631,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602328920399,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602328953167,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602328985935,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602329018703,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602329051471,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602329084239,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602329117007,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":57602329149775,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":57602329182543,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":57602329215311,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_4dda76fc-1867-4244-ab26-b23863c8f43e-q80.jpg?v=1793981507"},{"product_id":"the-eildon-hills-and-the-tweed-james-ward","title":"De Eildon Hills en de Tweed - James Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eEen weids romantisch vergezicht op de Scottish Borders, met de rivier de Tweed, de Eildon Hills en een dramatische regenboog over de vallei.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJames Ward, een belangrijk figuur in de Britse romantische kunst, legt de Scottish Borders vast in dit uitgestrekte panorama. De compositie centreert zich rond de rivier de Tweed die door de vallei slingert, met de kenmerkende drie toppen van de Eildon Hills in de verte. Links bieden de ruïnes van een stenen bouwwerk een gevoel van historisch gewicht, waardoor het tafereel geworteld raakt in de fysieke overblijfselen van het verleden. Ward hanteert een dramatische lucht, waarin zware, met vocht geladen wolken opklaren en een regenboog onthullen, een veelvoorkomend motief in de romantische schilderkunst dat wordt gebruikt om de sublieme kracht van de natuur te suggereren.\n\nOp de voorgrond rusten figuren op de oever; hun aanwezigheid geeft schaal aan de uitgestrekte geografie. De kunstenaar demonstreert zijn technische vaardigheid in de behandeling van het licht, dat over het water en de beboste oevers trekt en een gevoel van atmosferische diepte creëert. Ward stond bekend om zijn scherpe observatievermogen van zowel dieren als de natuurlijke wereld, en dit werk weerspiegelt zijn vermogen om topografische nauwkeurigheid te combineren met een verhoogde emotionele reactie op de omgeving. Het kleurenpalet wordt gedomineerd door aardse tinten, geaccentueerd door het koelere blauw van de rivier en de vluchtige kleuren van de regenboog. Deze prent biedt een helder inzicht in Wards benadering van het Britse platteland, waar het samenspel tussen menselijke activiteit en de ongetemde elementen een centraal thema blijft.

Zijn werk combineerde vaak anatomische precisie met de dramatische sfeer die zo kenmerkend was voor de romantiek. Deze prent verbeeldt Adonis, een hengst met een opmerkelijke stamboom, staand in een pose die zowel kracht als nerveuze energie uitstraalt. Het paard is gepositioneerd tegen een turbulente, door storm geteisterde lucht, een veelgebruikt middel in de composities van Ward om het emotionele gewicht van het onderwerp te vergroten.\n\nWard begon zijn carrière als graveur, een achtergrond die ten grondslag ligt aan de technische meesterschap in dit werk. De fijne lijnen die zijn gebruikt om de textuur van de vacht van het paard en de wapperende manen weer te geven, tonen zijn beheersing van het medium. De musculatuur is helder gedefinieerd, wat zijn interesse weerspiegelt in de fysieke vorm van dieren, die hij met dezelfde nauwkeurigheid bestudeerde als de portretschilders van mensen uit die tijd. Het contrast tussen de solide, geaarde figuur van het paard en de kolkende, donkere wolken erboven creëert een gevoel van spanning. \n\nDeze prent werd in 1824 in Londen gepubliceerd. Het legt de esthetische voorkeuren van die tijd vast, waarin de adel van het dier werd verheven door een dramatische, bijna heroïsche presentatie. Wards vermogen om zijn onderwerpen een individueel karakter te geven, maakte hem een favoriet onder de landadel en paardenliefhebbers van zijn tijd. Door zich te concentreren op de specifieke anatomie en de expressieve houding van de hengst, stijgt Ward uit boven een eenvoudige registratie van het dier en biedt hij in plaats daarvan een studie van kracht en beweging.

James Ward, een Britse schilder en graveur, vervaardigde deze legenda om toeschouwers te helpen bij het identificeren van de verschillende militaire figuren en marineofficieren die in zijn monumentale compositie zijn afgebeeld. Het werk fungeert als didactisch hulpmiddel en biedt een genummerde lijst met namen naast kleine, geëtste portretstudies van de belangrijkste deelnemers, waaronder generaal Lord Heathfield en admiraal Barrington.\n\nHet document geeft een gedetailleerd verslag van de structuur van het schilderij, dat in drie afzonderlijke secties was verdeeld. Het bovenste gedeelte richt zich op het Britse garnizoen en legt het moment van overwinning vast, evenals de daaropvolgende humanitaire inspanningen om Spaanse zeelieden uit brandende schepen te redden. De tekst legt de narratieve intentie achter het oorspronkelijke schilderij uit en beschrijft de acties van Lord Heathfield en zijn officieren op de wal, evenals de aankomst van de Britse vloot onder leiding van Lord Howe. \n\nVisueel is de prent sober en functioneel, waarbij de nadruk ligt op duidelijkheid in plaats van esthetische opsmuk. Er wordt gebruikgemaakt van strakke, dunne lijnen om de gelaatstrekken van de officieren weer te geven, zodat elk individu herkenbaar is. De lay-out is georganiseerd met een centraal titelblok, geflankeerd door portretschetsen en een uitgebreide lijst met namen die corresponderen met de nummers die aan de figuren zijn toegewezen. Dit stuk biedt een blik op de negentiende-eeuwse praktijk van publieke kunsttentoonstellingen, waarbij complexe historische scènes aanvullende gidsen vereisten om ervoor te zorgen dat het publiek de politieke en militaire context van de beeldtaal begreep.

De compositie is gebaseerd op een origineel schilderij van Sir Joshua Reynolds. Ward, een meester in het mezzotintprocedé, vangt de tonale diepte en zachte overgangen die kenmerkend zijn voor dit medium, dat in de achttiende en negentiende eeuw zeer geliefd was voor het reproduceren van olieverfschilderijen met een sfeervolle kwaliteit.\n\nElizabeth Billington staat centraal met een partituur in haar hand, haar blik omhoog gericht alsof ze in een moment van goddelijke inspiratie verkeert. Ze wordt omringd door een groep putti, van wie er één een bloemenkrans boven haar hoofd houdt, terwijl anderen uit een boek zingen. De achtergrond bestaat uit wervelende, dramatische wolken, een veelgebruikt middel in de portretkunst uit die tijd om het onderwerp naar een hemels of allegorisch domein te verheffen. Het licht komt van linksboven en werpt zachte highlights over de plooien van haar klassieke gewaad en de gezichten van de cherubijnachtige figuren.\n\nJames Ward was een belangrijk figuur in de Britse prentkunst, bekend om zijn technische precisie en zijn vermogen om de schilderachtige effecten van zijn tijdgenoten naar monochroom te vertalen. Deze prent toont het hoge niveau van vaardigheid dat vereist is om de koperplaat zodanig te bewerken dat de fluweelzwarte tinten en subtiele grijstinten worden bereikt die de mezzotinttechniek definiëren. Het werk dient als een getuigenis van het snijvlak tussen de portretkunst van de hogere kringen en de theatrale wereld van het Georgiaanse tijdperk, waarin artiesten vaak werden afgebeeld door de lens van de klassieke mythologie of religieuze iconografie om hun publieke persona's een gevoel van tijdloosheid te verlenen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook interessant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/henry-v-discovering-the-conspirators-henry-fuseli-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHenry V Discovering the Conspirators - Henry Fuseli — Henry Fuseli\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/departure-for-the-hunt-edwin-lord-weeks\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDeparture For The Hunt - Edwin Lord Weeks — Edwin Lord Weeks\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965736362319,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965741343055,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965741375823,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965741408591,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965741441359,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Mrs_Poster_CompositorV1_1793092780338.jpg?v=1793526042"},{"product_id":"fourteen-celebrated-horses-adonis-james-ward","title":"Veertien beroemde paarden: Adonis - James Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eEen gedetailleerde ets van het paard Adonis door de Britse kunstenaar James Ward, die de krachtige vorm van het dier vastlegt tegen een dramatische, stormachtige lucht.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eDeze prent maakt deel uit van de serie getiteld Fourteen Celebrated Horses, geproduceerd door de Britse kunstenaar James Ward. Ward was een zeer bekwame schilder en graveur, bekend om zijn anatomische precisie en zijn vermogen om het temperament van dieren vast te leggen. Dit specifieke werk toont Adonis, een paard dat is weergegeven met zorgvuldige aandacht voor musculatuur en vorm. Het dier staat in een klassieke houding, met één voorbeen opgeheven, tegen een dramatische, stormachtige lucht die kenmerkend is voor de romantiek.\n\nDe compositie focust op de fysieke kracht van het paard. Ward gebruikt fijne lijnen om de textuur van de manen en staart te definiëren, die in een sterke bries lijken te waaien. De achtergrond is relatief eenvoudig gehouden en bestaat uit een lage horizonlijn en golvend terrein, waardoor de aandacht van de toeschouwer op het onderwerp blijft gericht. Het contrast tussen het licht getinte paard en de donkere, dreigende wolken creëert een gevoel van spanning en beweging.\n\nJames Ward begon zijn carrière als graveur voordat hij zich op het schilderen toelegde, en deze achtergrond is zichtbaar in de technische beheersing die in deze prent tot uiting komt. De arceringen en gevarieerde lijndiktes tonen een diepgaand begrip van hoe tonale waarden uit de olieverfschilderkunst vertaald kunnen worden naar het medium van de prentkunst. Het werk weerspiegelt de vroeg-negentiende-eeuwse belangstelling voor de adel en kracht van paarden, die in dit tijdperk een onderwerp van grote fascinatie waren voor zowel kunstenaars als het publiek. Deze prent biedt een duidelijk voorbeeld van Wards meesterschap in de anatomie van dieren en zijn vermogen om een onderwerp te doordringen van een gevoel voor individueel karakter.

De compositie is gebaseerd op een origineel schilderij van Sir Thomas Lawrence. De drie mannen zijn rond een tafel verzameld, verwikkeld in wat een serieuze discussie over financiële of familiezaken lijkt te zijn. Een groot boek ligt voor hen open, wat duidt op de commerciële activiteiten van de bankiersfamilie Baring. \n\nJames Ward was een zeer bekwame graveur voordat hij overstapte op schilderen, en zijn meesterschap in het mezzotintproces is zichtbaar in de subtiele toonovergangen en de zachte, sfeervolle belichting van deze prent. De techniek zorgt voor een fluweelachtige diepte in de schaduwen, met name in de kleding en de gedrapeerde achtergrond, wat contrasteert met de verlichte gezichten van de geportretteerden. De compositie volgt de conventies van de Britse portretkunst uit het begin van de negentiende eeuw, waarbij de nadruk ligt op de sociale en professionele status van de geportretteerden. \n\nSir Francis Baring, zittend aan de linkerzijde, houdt een document vast en lijkt aandachtig te luisteren. Zijn zoon en schoonzoon buigen zich naar het grootboek, waarbij hun houding een gevoel van gedeeld doel uitstraalt. De toevoeging van het familiewapen van Baring onderaan de prent versterkt de status van de geportretteerden.

Zijn benadering van het genre ging verder dan louter documentatie, aangezien hij probeerde de fysieke aanwezigheid en het temperament van zijn onderwerpen vast te leggen. Dit werk, gedateerd 1817, toont een bruin jachtpaard in profiel tegen een lage horizonlijn. Het paard is gezadeld en getoomd, wat wijst op een rustmoment tijdens een jacht of een formele portretsessie voor een gewaardeerd dier.\n\nWard toont zijn technische vaardigheid door de weergave van de bespiering van het paard en de glans van zijn vacht. De belichting is dramatisch, typerend voor de romantiek, met wolken die zich in de lucht samenpakken om een sfeervol effect te creëren. De achtergrond is relatief eenvoudig gehouden, waardoor de kijker zich op de anatomie en de houding van het paard concentreert. Ward bestudeerde vaak het werk van George Stubbs, maar hij ontwikkelde een expressievere stijl die het karakter van het dier voorop stelde. De compositie is in balans, waarbij het paard stevig op de grond staat en zijn hoofd licht naar de toeschouwer is gedraaid. Het tuig is met precisie weergegeven, wat het belang van de ruiter- en paardencultuur in het sociale leven van die tijd weerspiegelt. Deze prent vangt het toonbereik van het oorspronkelijke olieverfschilderij en behoudt het contrast tussen de donkere vacht van het paard en de lichtere, uitgestrekte lucht.

Ward bezat een diepgaand begrip van de paardenanatomie, een vaardigheid die hij aanscherpte door zijn vroege opleiding als graveur en zijn nauwkeurige observatie van de natuur. In deze compositie staat het paard in profiel, waarbij zijn gespierde vorm met nauwkeurige aandacht voor licht en schaduw is weergegeven. Het dier neemt de voorgrond in en is gepositioneerd tegen een weids, atmosferisch uitzicht op het Engelse platteland.\n\nDe achtergrond toont een rivier en een in de verte gelegen stuw, elementen die aantonen dat Ward in staat was om dierlijke onderwerpen te integreren in een bredere omgevingscontext. Zijn penseelvoering vangt de textuur van de vacht van het paard en de subtiele variaties in de bruine kleur. De lucht, gevuld met golvende wolken, suggereert de veranderlijke weersomstandigheden die vaak te zien zijn in Britse landelijke omgevingen. In tegenstelling tot de statischere portretten van zijn tijdgenoten, geeft Ward de scène een gevoel van rustige observatie mee. Het paard oogt alert, met het hoofd licht gedraaid, wat een moment van verstilling suggereert vlak voor beweging.\n\nWard kreeg regelmatig opdrachten van de landadel om hun gewaardeerde vee vast te leggen, maar hij tilde deze werken vaak boven louter documentatie uit. Door zich te concentreren op de fysieke aanwezigheid van het paard en de atmosferische kwaliteit van het omliggende terrein, creëerde hij een werk dat zowel fungeert als portret van een specifiek dier als een studie van het plattelandsleven. De compositie brengt de solide, geaarde aanwezigheid van het paard in evenwicht met het uitgestrekte, vloeiende karakter van het water en de lucht.

Het werk legt de onderwerpen vast in een huiselijke omgeving, waarschijnlijk in een hok of verblijf, omringd door stro en vers groen. Ward past zijn kenmerkende aandacht voor textuur toe en geeft de zachte vacht van de dieren weer met precieze penseelstreken die de witte, rossige en zwarte vlekken van elkaar onderscheiden.\n\nDe compositie richt zich op de directe activiteit van de cavia's terwijl ze eten. Het ene dier is links geplaatst, met zijn kop naar beneden gericht naar een schaal met voer, terwijl het tweede dier rechts op de voorgrond staat en zijn kop draait om een blaadje te eten. De belichting is zacht, wat duidt op een binnenomgeving, en de achtergrond blijft donker om ervoor te zorgen dat de kijker zich concentreert op de fysieke vormen van de huisdieren. Ward vermijdt onnodige versiering, waardoor de naturalistische weergave van de dieren de visuele ervaring bepaalt.\n\nDit schilderij weerspiegelt de negentiende-eeuwse belangstelling voor dierportretten, waarbij huisdieren vaak met dezelfde ernst werden gedocumenteerd als menselijke modellen. Ward, die een groot deel van zijn carrière wijdde aan het schilderen van vee en paarden voor de Britse adel, brengt een hoge mate van technische bekwaamheid in dit kleinere, intiemere onderwerp. Het werk is in de linkerbenedenhoek gesigneerd en gedateerd, wat de plaats ervan in zijn latere productieperiode bevestigt. Het kleurenpalet steunt op aardetinten, waaronder de goudgele tinten van het stro en het gedempte groen van het loof, die de natuurlijke tekening van de cavia's aanvullen.

Het toont Sir John Leicester, een vooraanstaand mecenas en commandant van de Cheshire Yeomanry, gezeten op een wit strijdros. In de compositie staat het onderwerp op de voorgrond, met zijn zwaard opgeheven in een bevelend gebaar, terwijl het regiment in de verte manoeuvres uitvoert op de zandvlakte van Liverpool.\n\nHet schilderij demonstreert het vermogen van de kunstenaar om portretkunst te combineren met militaire actie. Ward gebruikt een stormachtige, atmosferische lucht die een gevoel van urgentie aan de scène toevoegt. Het contrast tussen de beheerste, statische pose van de centrale figuur en de chaotische, door rook gevulde bedrijvigheid van de troepen weerspiegelt de conventies van de militaire kunst uit het begin van de negentiende eeuw. Het paard is weergegeven met anatomische precisie, een kenmerk van Wards opleiding als graveur en zijn latere focus op onderwerpen uit de dierenwereld.\n\nDit werk legt een specifiek moment in de Britse sociale en militaire geschiedenis vast en documenteert de rol van vrijwillige cavalerie-eenheden tijdens het napoleontische tijdperk. Het gebruik van licht en schaduw creëert een gevoel van diepte en leidt het oog van het gedetailleerde uniform van de commandant naar de uitgestrekte, ruige kustlijn. Het werk blijft een duidelijk voorbeeld van de romantische belangstelling voor heroïsche figuren geplaatst tegenover de kracht van de natuur. Door zijn zorgvuldige behandeling van textuur, van de glans van de paardenvacht tot de zware, donkere wolken erboven, creëert Ward een scène die zowel documentair als dramatisch is in de uitvoering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vindt u dit ook interessant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/lord-and-lady-in-a-phaeton-george-stubbs\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLord and Lady in a Phaeton door George Stubbs\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/arab-on-horseback-horace-vernet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eArab on Horseback door Horace Vernet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eKunstwerken van James Ward →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965788397903,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965802258767,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965802291535,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965802324303,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965802357071,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Sir-John-Leicester-Bt-Exercising-His-Regiment-of-Cheshire-Yeomanry-on-the-Sands-at-Liverpool_Poster_CompositorV1_1781743685937.jpg?v=1781747456"},{"product_id":"the-devonshire-ox-james-ward","title":"The Devonshire Ox - James Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eEen gedetailleerde studie van een Devonshire-os door James Ward, waarbij de vorm van het dier wordt vastgelegd tegen een dramatische, atmosferische lucht.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJames Ward, een prominente figuur in de Britse dierenschilderkunst tijdens het begin van de negentiende eeuw, maakte deze studie van een Devonshire-os met karakteristieke precisie. Ward richtte zich vaak op de fysieke kenmerken van vee, wat de agrarische interesses van die tijd weerspiegelde. Het dier neemt het midden van de compositie in en is weergegeven met aandacht voor zijn gespierde vorm en de textuur van zijn huid. De kunstenaar hanteert een palet van aardse bruin- en okertinten om de os te definiëren, in contrast met een dramatische, wolkenrijke lucht die een naderende storm suggereert. \n\nWard werd beïnvloed door het werk van George Stubbs, maar hij ontwikkelde een eigen benadering waarin meer atmosferische elementen waren verwerkt. De lage horizonlijn verheft het onderwerp en geeft de os een gevoel van aanwezigheid in het open veld. De penseelvoering blijft vloeiend, vooral in de behandeling van de lucht, waar snelle streken de beweging van lucht en licht vangen. Dit werk weerspiegelt de fascinatie van die periode voor het fokken van prijswinnend vee, een onderwerp dat aan populariteit won onder de landadel en agrarische genootschappen van die tijd. \n\nDoor het dier te isoleren tegen een uitgestrekte, open achtergrond, vestigt Ward de aandacht van de toeschouwer op de specifieke anatomie en conditie van het beest. Het schilderij vermijdt overmatige versiering en vertrouwt in plaats daarvan op het samenspel tussen de solide, geaarde figuur van de os en de veranderlijke, etherische kwaliteit van de lucht. Deze balans tussen wetenschappelijke observatie en artistieke interpretatie is typerend voor het oeuvre van Ward, dat de kloof overbrugde tussen puur documentaire dierportretten en de meer emotionele, expressieve tendensen van de Romantiek. Het werk blijft een duidelijk voorbeeld van het vermogen van de kunstenaar om een alledaags onderwerp te verheffen door zorgvuldige observatie en technisch vakmanschap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook interessant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/cattle-by-a-stream-george-stubbs\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCattle by a Stream door George Stubbs\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/white-bull-and-blond-heifer-gustave-courbet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWhite Bull and Blond Heifer door Gustave Courbet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJames Ward prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965804683599,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965816971599,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965817004367,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965817037135,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965817069903,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Devonshire-Ox_Poster_CompositorV1_1781744045468.jpg?v=1781747843"},{"product_id":"portraits-of-blackthorn-a-broodmare-with-old-jack-a-favourite-pony-the-property-of-e-mundy-esq-james-ward","title":"Portretten van Blackthorn, een fokmerrie, met Old Jack, een favoriete pony, eigendom van E.

De compositie toont twee paardachtigen, Blackthorn en Old Jack, in een pastorale omgeving. Ward, die zijn carrière begon als graveur, bracht een hoge mate van technische precisie in zijn olieverfschilderijen. Zijn vermogen om de musculatuur en de texturen van dierenvachten weer te geven is hier duidelijk zichtbaar, evenals zijn belangstelling voor de atmosferische omstandigheden van het Britse platteland.\n\nHet schilderij legt een rustig moment in een veld vast, waarbij de fokmerrie prominent staat terwijl de pony in de buurt blijft. Een veulen rust op het gras op de voorgrond, wat een gevoel van huiselijkheid aan de scène toevoegt. De lucht is gevuld met zware, dramatische wolken, een veelvoorkomend kenmerk in het werk van Ward dat de invloed van de romantiek weerspiegelt. Zijn benadering van dierenportretten hield vaak in dat de status van de onderwerpen werd verheven door ze met dezelfde ernst te behandelen als menselijke modellen in formele portretten.\n\nWard kreeg van E. Mundy, Esq., de opdracht om deze specifieke dieren vast te leggen. Dergelijke opdrachten waren gebruikelijk voor de landadel die hun waardevolle vee wilde laten vastleggen. De aandacht van de kunstenaar voor detail strekt zich uit tot voorbij de dieren naar de omgeving, waar de rivier en de verre bomen zijn weergegeven met zachte, schilderachtige penseelstreken. Dit werk blijft een duidelijk voorbeeld van de Britse traditie van sport- en dierkunst, die bloeide tijdens de Georgische en Regency-periodes. De balans tussen de naturalistische weergave van de paarden en de uitgestrekte, stemmige lucht toont Ward's vaardigheid in het integreren van dierlijke onderwerpen in een bredere omgevingscontext.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook leuk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-chestnut-racehorse-george-stubbs\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Chestnut Racehorse door George Stubbs\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/the-arab-tent-edwin-henry-landseer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Arab Tent door Edwin Henry Landseer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJames Ward kunstwerk →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965808255311,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965822968143,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965823000911,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965823033679,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965823066447,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portraits-of-Blackthorn-a-Broodmare-with-Old-Jack-a-Favourite-Pony-the-Property-of-E.-Mundy-Esq_Poster_CompositorV1_1781744165079.jpg?v=1781747931"},{"product_id":"dr-syntax-james-ward","title":"Dr. Syntax - James Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eEen gedetailleerd olieverfportret uit 1820 van het renpaard Dr Syntax door de Britse kunstenaar James Ward, afgezet tegen een weidse, atmosferische kustachtergrond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJames Ward, een prominent figuur in de Britse dierschilderkunst, vervaardigde dit portret van het renpaard Dr Syntax in 1820. Het werk toont het dier in profiel, geplaatst tegen een weidse, atmosferische kustachtergrond. Ward toont zijn technische bekwaamheid in de weergave van de musculatuur van het paard en de glans van zijn donkere vacht, die contrasteert met de gedempte, aardse tinten van het omliggende terrein.\n\nIn tegenstelling tot de statischere paardenportretten van zijn tijdgenoten, brengt Ward een gevoel van beweging in de scène door de behandeling van de lucht en de uitgestrekte, open grond. Het paard staat op een licht verhoogde rug, zijn vorm afgetekend tegen de horizon. Het penseelwerk blijft beheerst, wat een nauwkeurige weergave van de fysieke kenmerken van het paard mogelijk maakt, terwijl de schilderachtige kwaliteit van de lucht en de vegetatie op de voorgrond behouden blijft. De compositie vertrouwt op de horizontale lijnen van de kust om het oog van de kijker over het doek te leiden en het onderwerp te verankeren in zijn omgeving.\n\nDr Syntax was een opmerkelijk renpaard uit het begin van de negentiende eeuw en Wards weergave weerspiegelt de belangstelling van die periode voor het vastleggen van specifieke, verdienstelijke dieren. De kunstenaar, die ook een bekwaam graveur was, brengt een structurele helderheid aan in de anatomie van het dier. Het schilderij vermijdt overmatige versiering en richt zich in plaats daarvan op de fysieke aanwezigheid van het paard en de atmosferische omstandigheden van de dag. Dit stuk is een duidelijk voorbeeld van de Britse traditie van dierportretten, waarbij het onderwerp wordt gepresenteerd met zowel anatomische nauwkeurigheid als een gevoel voor individueel karakter.

Het werk toont twee ossen, die opvallen door hun omvang en fysieke conditie, geplaatst in een schaduwrijk, architectonisch interieur. Ward hanteert een sober palet en gebruikt diepe bruintinten en gedempte grijstinten om de gespierde vormen van de dieren af te zetten tegen de stenen structuur erachter.\n\nDe kunstenaar toont een nauwkeurige observatie van de anatomie van de dieren, waarbij hij de textuur van de huid en de kenmerkende kromming van de hoorns vastlegt. Zijn techniek weerspiegelt de invloed van Nederlandse meesters, met name in de behandeling van het licht en de atmosferische diepte van de achtergrond. Door de onderwerpen in een beschutte, stalachtige omgeving te plaatsen, vestigt Ward de aandacht van de kijker op de fysieke kenmerken van de ossen zelf. Deze focus op het individuele dier, in plaats van op een breder pastoraal tafereel, sluit aan bij de toenmalige belangstelling voor selectief fokken en agrarische vooruitgang die het tijdperk definieerde.\n\nWard stond hoog aangeschreven om zijn vermogen om het karakter van zijn onderwerpen met anatomische nauwkeurigheid weer te geven. Dit schilderij is een duidelijk voorbeeld van zijn technische vaardigheid en toont een balans tussen de realistische weergave van de beesten en de dramatische, sfeervolle belichting die typerend is voor zijn bredere oeuvre. De compositie blijft aards en vermijdt onnodige opsmuk om de focus op de schaal en de aanwezigheid van de ossen te behouden.

De dubbele torens van het middeleeuwse bouwwerk, die precair op de afbrokkelende kliffen van Kent staan, domineren de compositie. Ward hanteert een lage horizonlijn om de uitgestrektheid van de lucht te benadrukken, die gevuld is met wervelende, sfeervolle wolken die typerend zijn voor zijn romantische benadering van de Britse topografie.\n\nOp de voorgrond is een ruiter te paard te zien, een klein figuur dat voor schaal zorgt ten opzichte van de imposante ruïnes. Het strand is met veel aandacht voor textuur weergegeven, waarbij het puin en de sporen van het getij op de kustlijn zichtbaar zijn. Het licht, dat doet denken aan dageraad of schemering, werpt een warme gloed over de scène en contrasteert met de koele tinten van de zee en de schaduwrijke kliffen. Ward reisde vaak door Groot-Brittannië om locaties van historisch of geologisch belang te documenteren, en dit werk weerspiegelt zijn vermogen om nauwkeurige observatie te combineren met een gevoel van melancholie over het verstrijken van de tijd en de kwetsbaarheid van door mensen gebouwde structuren ten opzichte van de elementen.\n\nDeze prent legt het fijne penseelwerk en de subtiele kleurovergangen van het originele olieverfschilderij vast. De compositie nodigt de kijker uit om na te denken over de isolatie van de locatie, die in de vroege negentiende eeuw een populair onderwerp was voor kunstenaars. De kerk, die in het begin van de jaren 1800 grotendeels werd afgebroken, blijft een symbool van kustverandering.

Zijn werk oversteeg vaak het eenvoudige portretteren van vee en verwerkte een gevoel van individueel karakter en anatomische precisie die zijn opleiding als graveur weerspiegelden. In deze compositie staat het schimmelpaard in profiel in een zwak verlichte stal. De kunstenaar gebruikt een ingetogen palet om de aandacht van de kijker te vestigen op de textuur van de vacht van het dier en het subtiele lichtspel dat door het raam naar binnen valt.\n\nHet stalinterieur is weergegeven met donkere, aardse tinten, die contrasteren met de bleke, gespikkelde huid van het paard. Ward besteedt veel aandacht aan de musculatuur en de specifieke aftekeningen van het dier, wat blijk geeft van zijn diepgaande kennis van de paardengestalte. De lichtbron, die links is geplaatst, verlicht de kop en de flank van het paard en creëert een zacht modelleringseffect dat het onderwerp een fysieke aanwezigheid geeft. De achtergrond blijft grotendeels obscuur, waardoor het paard de enige focus van de aandacht van de kijker blijft.\n\nWards benadering van dierlijke onderwerpen werd beïnvloed door het werk van George Stubbs, maar hij bracht een meer atmosferische kwaliteit in zijn schilderijen. Dit stuk is kenmerkend voor zijn volwassen periode, waarin hij technische nauwkeurigheid in evenwicht bracht met een rustige, observerende toon. De toevoeging van het glas-in-loodraam zorgt voor een gevoel van architecturale context, waardoor het dier in een specifieke, zij het eenvoudige, omgeving wordt geplaatst. De compositie is weloverwogen en kalm, waarbij onnodig drama wordt vermeden om een studie van het paard in zijn natuurlijke, rustige staat te presenteren. Dit werk blijft een duidelijk voorbeeld van de hoge standaard van de Britse dierportretkunst tijdens het Romantiek-tijdperk, waarbij de waardigheid van het onderwerp wordt vastgelegd door zorgvuldige observatie en een gedisciplineerde verftoepassing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook leuk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-grey-stallion-in-a-landscape-george-stubbs\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Grey Stallion in a Landscape door George Stubbs\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-saddled-race-horse-tied-to-a-fence-horace-vernet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Saddled Race Horse Tied to a Fence door Horace Vernet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJames Ward kunstwerken →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965832929615,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965841809743,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965841842511,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965841875279,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965841908047,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/A-Grey-in-a-Stable_Poster_CompositorV1_1781744646595.jpg?v=1781748408"},{"product_id":"fighting-horses-james-ward","title":"Vechtende paarden - James Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eEen dramatisch olieverfschilderij van James Ward dat twee hengsten in een hevig gevecht uitbeeldt, weergegeven met de expressieve energie van de Romantiek.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJames Ward was een Britse schilder die bekend stond om zijn afbeeldingen van dieren, in het bijzonder paarden en vee. Dit werk vangt een moment van rauwe energie tussen twee hengsten. De compositie focust op de fysieke strijd, waarbij het witte paard steigert en het bruine paard in het ondiepe water staat. Ward gebruikt dramatisch licht om de musculatuur van de dieren te definiëren, wat een gevoel van spanning creëert dat de romantische benadering van de natuur typeert.\n\nDe achtergrond toont een stormachtige lucht en een ingetogen, sfeervolle omgeving, wat de aandacht van de toeschouwer op het centrale conflict richt. Ward werd beïnvloed door het werk van Peter Paul Rubens, en deze invloed is zichtbaar in de dynamische houdingen en de vloeiende verfbehandeling. De paarden zijn met anatomische precisie weergegeven, toch behoudt het tafereel een gevoel van wildheid. Het contrast tussen de witte vacht van het ene paard en de donkere vacht van het andere zorgt voor een duidelijke visuele scheiding, terwijl het opspattende water een tactiele kwaliteit toevoegt aan het onderste gedeelte van het doek.\n\nWard probeerde de dierenschilderkunst vaak naar het niveau van de historieschilderkunst te tillen door zijn onderwerpen te doordrenken met menselijke emotie en drama. In dit stuk suggereert de interactie tussen de dieren een narratief van dominantie en overleving. Het penseelwerk is expressief, vooral in de manen en staarten, die in de wind lijken te zwiepen. Deze print vangt de textuur van de originele olieverf, waardoor de techniek van Ward in detail kan worden bestudeerd.

De compositie toont een groep jagers en hun honden die door een bosrijk gebied navigeren, een praktijk die bekendstaat als 'drawing covert', waarbij honden het struikgewas in worden gestuurd om wild op te jagen. Ward, die zijn carrière begon als graveur, toont een scherp oog voor de anatomische precisie van de paarden en honden, wat zijn bredere interesse in dierenschilderkunst weerspiegelt.\n\nDe scène is geplaatst tegen een uitgestrekt, golvend Engels landschap. Ward gebruikt een palet van gedempte groen-, bruin- en okertinten om het gebladerte en de bewolkte lucht weer te geven. Het licht is diffuus, wat wijst op een typisch Britse dag, terwijl de compositie het oog over het middengrond naar de verre horizon leidt. De figuren zijn op de voorgrond geplaatst, wat een gevoel van schaal geeft ten opzichte van de volwassen bomen en het ruige terrein. \n\nIn tegenstelling tot veel van zijn tijdgenoten die zich uitsluitend op de actie van de jacht richtten, integreert Ward de menselijke activiteit in de wijdere omgeving. Het schilderij fungeert zowel als een verslag van het rurale sportleven als een studie van natuurlijk licht en atmosfeer. De texturen van de schors, de vachten van de paarden en de oneffen grond zijn weergegeven met een technische bekwaamheid die kenmerkend is voor het latere werk van Ward. Dit werk biedt een blik op de sociale en ecologische geschiedenis van het Britse platteland, gepresenteerd met de observationele nauwkeurigheid waar de kunstenaar om bekendstaat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook leuk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/buck-shooting-john-frederick-lewis\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBuck Shooting door John Frederick Lewis\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/le-debuche-antoine-dewasme-pletinckx\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLe Débuché door Antoine Dewasme-Plétinckx\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMeer van James Ward →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965840892239,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965844234575,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965844267343,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965844300111,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965844332879,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Huntsmen-Drawing-Covert_Poster_CompositorV1_1781744887272.jpg?v=1781748633"},{"product_id":"guy-mannering-a-race-horse-james-ward","title":"Guy Mannering, een renpaard - James Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eEen klassiek ruiterportret door James Ward, met het renpaard Guy Mannering in een rustige, sfeervolle omgeving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJames Ward was een vooraanstaand Brits schilder uit het begin van de negentiende eeuw, die alom werd erkend om zijn vaardigheid in dierportretten. Dit werk toont Guy Mannering, een renpaard uit die tijd, afgebeeld in profiel, wat een duidelijke bestudering van de fysieke vorm van het dier mogelijk maakt. Ward hanteert een beheerste verfopbrengst om de musculatuur en de glans van de donkere vacht van het paard te definiëren, in contrast met een gedempte, sfeervolle lucht en een laag gelegen, grasrijk veld.\n\nDe compositie volgt de conventies van de ruiterportretkunst die gebruikelijk waren in die periode, waarbij het onderwerp wordt gepresenteerd met een gevoel van waardigheid en fysieke kracht. Ward vermijdt overmatige versiering en kiest er in plaats daarvan voor om zich te concentreren op de anatomische nauwkeurigheid van het paard. De belichting is zacht, wat duidt op een bewolkte dag, waardoor harde schaduwen worden voorkomen en de kijker de subtiele variaties in de donkere kleur van het paard kan waarderen. \n\nWards benadering van dit onderwerp weerspiegelt zijn bredere interesse in de natuurlijke wereld en zijn vermogen om dieren een eigen, uitgesproken aanwezigheid te geven. Door het paard tegen een vereenvoudigde achtergrond te plaatsen, zorgt hij ervoor dat de aandacht van de kijker op het dier gericht blijft. Deze print legt de textuur van het originele olieverfschilderij vast en behoudt de penseelvoering die de manen van het paard en de subtiele diepte van het omliggende veld definieert. Het is een werk dat de geschiedenis van de Britse paardenracerij en de artistieke standaarden van het Romantische tijdperk documenteert, en een blik biedt op de relatie tussen de menselijke samenleving en de dieren die centraal stonden in haar sportcultuur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook leuk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-saddled-race-horse-tied-to-a-fence-horace-vernet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Saddled Race Horse Tied to a Fence door Horace Vernet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-grey-stallion-in-a-landscape-george-stubbs\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Grey Stallion in a Landscape door George Stubbs\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eKunstwerken van James Ward →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965841121615,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965846331727,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965846364495,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965846397263,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57965846430031,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Guy-Mannering-A-Race-Horse_Poster_CompositorV1_1781744886860.jpg?v=1781748660"},{"product_id":"gordale-scar-james-ward","title":"Gordale Scar - James Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eEen monumentale weergave van de kalksteenkloof bij Gordale Scar, die de dramatische schaal en atmosferische kracht van het Britse landschap vastlegt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJames Ward, een Britse schilder die bekend stond om zijn dierenstudies en dramatische composities, vervaardigde dit monumentale werk tussen 1811 en 1815. Het schilderij toont de kalksteenkloof Gordale Scar in North Yorkshire, een plek die kunstenaars uit de Romantiek fascineerde vanwege de geologische schaal en rauwe kracht. Ward bezocht de locatie in 1811 in opdracht van Lord Ribblesdale om de dramatische kenmerken van het landschap op grote schaal vast te leggen.\n\nDe compositie wordt bepaald door de torenhoge, verticale kalksteenkliffen die het kader domineren en een gevoel van omsluiting en ontzag creëren. Ward gebruikt een donker, stemmig palet om de atmosferische omstandigheden over te brengen, met zware, turbulente wolken die zich boven de kloof samenpakken. Het licht is met precisie gehanteerd; het vangt de textuurrijke oppervlakken van de rotswand terwijl de diepten van de kloof in schaduw blijven. Aan de basis stroomt een kleine waterval naar beneden, wat een gevoel van schaal geeft ten opzichte van de immense geologische formaties.\n\nOp de voorgrond heeft Ward een verzameling vee en herten toegevoegd, een knipoog naar zijn achtergrond als dierenschilder. Deze figuren bieden een referentiepunt op menselijke schaal, waardoor de kijker de enorme hoogte van de kliffen kan waarderen. Het schilderij is een primair voorbeeld van de Britse romantische belangstelling voor het sublieme, waarbij de natuur wordt gepresenteerd als een overweldigende, ontembare kracht. Het werk bevindt zich momenteel in de collectie van de Tate in Londen, waar het wordt erkend om zijn technische ambitie en zijn afwijking van de meer conventionele topografische zichten uit die tijd. De enorme afmeting van het doek, dat meer dan drie meter hoog is, weerspiegelt de wens van de kunstenaar om de kijker onder te dompelen in de fysieke realiteit van de locatie in Yorkshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook interessant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-persian-cafe-edwin-lord-weeks\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Persian Cafe - Edwin Lord Weeks — Edwin Lord Weeks\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/portrait-of-ye-i-durnova-karl-bryullov\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Ye.

Het schilderij toont Rockingham, een succesvol renpaard, samen met zijn eigenaar, John Theobald, en de jockey Jem Robinson. Ward, die zijn carrière begon als graveur, bracht een nauwgezette aandacht voor anatomische details in zijn olieverfschilderijen. Deze technische achtergrond is duidelijk zichtbaar in de weergave van het paard, waarbij de bespiering en de textuur van de vacht helder zijn uitgewerkt.\n\nDe compositie volgt de conventies van die tijd en plaatst de onderwerpen in een open, uitgestrekt veld. De lucht neemt een groot deel van het doek in beslag, wat zorgt voor een gevoel van schaal en atmosfeer dat aansluit bij de bredere interesses van de Romantiek. De figuren zijn zo gerangschikt dat de relatie tussen de eigenaar, de jockey en het dier zichtbaar is, waarbij Theobald de teugels vasthoudt. De kleding van de mannen, in het bijzonder het rode jasje van de jockey en de formele kledij van de eigenaar, vormt een contrast met de natuurlijke tinten van het paard en het omliggende terrein.\n\nWard stond bekend om zijn vermogen om het karakter van dieren vast te leggen, een vaardigheid die hem opdrachten opleverde van de aristocratie en de paardenracerij. Dit stuk weerspiegelt het maatschappelijke belang van de paardensport in het begin van de negentiende eeuw, waarbij het paard niet louter een lastdier was, maar een symbool van status en sportieve prestaties. Het werk blijft een helder voorbeeld van het genre en toont de beheersing van de kunstenaar op het gebied van licht en vorm binnen de context van de Britse sportkunst. Het biedt een blik op de esthetische voorkeuren van die tijd, waarin de weergave van prijsdieren een veelvoorkomend onderwerp was voor schilders van die dag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eWellicht ook interessant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-persian-cafe-edwin-lord-weeks\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Persian Cafe - Edwin Lord Weeks — Edwin Lord Weeks\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/portrait-of-ye-i-durnova-karl-bryullov\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Ye.

Het werk weerspiegelt de conventies van de Britse portretkunst uit het begin van de negentiende eeuw, waarbij de geportretteerde wordt gepresenteerd met een gevoel van kalmte en gratie. Ward hanteert een losse, schilderachtige techniek, met name in de weergave van de stof en de sfeervolle achtergrond, wat duidt op de invloed van zijn zwager, George Morland, en de bredere romantische traditie.\n\nHet onderwerp is afgebeeld in driekwart aanzicht, haar blik afgewend van de toeschouwer. Ze draagt een donker kledingstuk gedrapeerd met een goudgele sjaal, wat een contrast creëert dat de aandacht vestigt op haar gelaatstrekken. Haar haar is gestyled in de krulletjes die in de Regency-periode in de mode waren, en ze draagt een klein decoratief ornament op haar hoofd. De achtergrond is vaag, opgebouwd uit wervelende, donkere tinten die zorgen voor een gevoel van diepte zonder af te leiden van de geportretteerde. Deze benadering zorgt ervoor dat de focus volledig op het individu blijft liggen en presenteert een karakterstudie in plaats van een formele, rigide gelijkenis.\n\nWards verfaanbreng is vloeiend, met zichtbare penseelvoering die textuur toevoegt aan de sjaal en de omringende ruimte. De belichting is zacht, waarbij het gezicht en de nek worden verlicht terwijl de randen van de figuur in de schaduw vervagen. Dit portret toont het vermogen van de kunstenaar om technische precisie in evenwicht te brengen met een meer expressieve, emotionele stijl. Het blijft een representatief voorbeeld van de portretkunst die Ward produceerde tijdens zijn actieve carrière in Londen, waar hij zich bewoog in kringen van prominente kunstenaars en mecenassen uit die tijd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook interessant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/reverend-george-morley-john-jackson\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eReverend George Morley door John Jackson\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/portrait-of-v-i-lizogub-vasily-tropinin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortret van V.I.

James Ward, die zijn carrière begon als graveur voordat hij overstapte op schilderkunst, toont zijn technische bekwaamheid in het weergeven van stoffen en de opstelling van de figuren. De compositie is opgebouwd rond de centrale figuur van de moeder, die een zuigeling vasthoudt, terwijl de andere kinderen zo zijn geplaatst dat er een gevoel van huiselijke bedrijvigheid ontstaat. Rechts is een kind te zien dat met een hobbelpaard speelt, een detail dat een verhalend element toevoegt aan de formele portretkunst van die periode.\n\nHet gebruik van een zwaar rood gordijn als achtergrond zorgt voor een theatrale kwaliteit die gebruikelijk was in de Britse portretkunst van de late achttiende en vroege negentiende eeuw. Dit stijlmiddel omlijst de familiegroep en vestigt de aandacht van de kijker op de uitdrukkingen en interacties van de geportretteerden. Ward hanteert een gebalanceerd palet, waardoor de witte kleding van de moeder en kinderen afsteekt tegen de donkerdere kleding van de vader en de diepe tinten van de draperie. De blik op een lucht en landschap aan de linkerkant voegt diepte toe aan de interieursetting, wat een verbinding suggereert tussen de huiselijke sfeer en de wijdere wereld.\n\nWards aanpak van deze opdracht weerspiegelt de conventies van die tijd, waarin familieportretten dienden om afkomst en sociale status vast te leggen. De aandacht voor de texturen van de kleding, van de kanten kragen tot het fluweel van de kinderpakjes, duidt op de focus van de kunstenaar op materiële details. Dit werk blijft een representatief voorbeeld van Wards portretkunst, geproduceerd in een periode waarin hij zijn reputatie als schilder van zowel menselijke onderwerpen als dieren aan het vestigen was.

Dit werk toont een gewelddadige confrontatie tussen twee toppredatoren, een leeuw en een tijger, tegen een donkere, rotsachtige achtergrond. De compositie richt zich op de fysieke strijd, waarbij de dieren in een dynamische, kronkelende omhelzing het centrum van het beeld in beslag nemen. \n\nWard gebruikt een dramatisch, low-key belichtingsschema om de figuren te isoleren van hun omgeving. Het contrast tussen de taankleurige vacht van de leeuw en de gestreepte vacht van de tijger creëert een visuele spanning die de fysieke actie weerspiegelt. Een klein, vluchtend hert is zichtbaar in de linkerbenedenhoek, wat een gevoel van urgentie aan de scène toevoegt. Het rotsachtige terrein is weergegeven met zware, getextureerde penseelstreken, wat een sober, genadeloos toneel vormt voor het conflict. \n\nGedurende de vroege negentiende eeuw verkenden Britse kunstenaars vaak thema's van de natuur als een krachtige, ontembare kracht. Ward, die ook een bekwaam graveur was, bracht een hoog niveau van anatomische precisie aan in zijn onderwerpen. Zijn benadering van dit onderwerp weerspiegelt de bredere belangstelling voor het sublieme, waarbij de kijker wordt geconfronteerd met de felheid van de wildernis. Het schilderij vermijdt sentimentele voorstellingen van dieren en kiest er in plaats daarvan voor om een visceraal, ongepolijst moment van overleving te presenteren. De donkere, stemmige sfeer is kenmerkend voor zijn latere werk, waarin hij zich verwijderde van de pastorale scènes uit zijn jeugd naar intensere, dramatische composities. Deze afdruk legt de fijne details van het oorspronkelijke olieverfschilderij vast, van de spanning in de spieren van de dieren tot de ruige textuur van de steen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook leuk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-persian-cafe-edwin-lord-weeks\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Persian Cafe - Edwin Lord Weeks — Edwin Lord Weeks\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/portrait-of-ye-i-durnova-karl-bryullov\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Ye.

Het fort, gelegen op zijn rotsachtige uitloper, domineert het omliggende Welshe landschap. Ward hanteert een dramatisch perspectief vanuit een lage hoek dat het oog over de voorgrond leidt, waar een omgevallen boomstam ligt te vergaan, wat wijst op het verstrijken van de tijd en de vergankelijkheid van menselijke bouwwerken tegenover de eeuwigheid van de natuur.\n\nDe lucht beslaat een aanzienlijk deel van het doek, gevuld met turbulente, goudkleurige wolken die wijzen op een naderende storm of het vervagende licht van de schemering. Deze lichtbehandeling is kenmerkend voor die periode, waarin kunstenaars emotionele reacties probeerden op te roepen door de weergave van weers- en lichtomstandigheden. De voorgrond is bevolkt met kleine, onduidelijke figuren en een kar, wat zorgt voor een gevoel van schaal en menselijke activiteit dat contrasteert met de ruige, ongetemde omgeving.\n\nWard stond bekend om zijn technische vaardigheid en zijn vermogen om zijn werk te doordrenken met een gevoel van drama. Zijn penseelvoering is hier expressief, vooral in de weergave van de knoestige boom en de textuur van de aarde. Het palet wordt gedomineerd door aardetinten, okers en diepbruine kleuren, die de compositie verankeren en de scène verenigen. Dit werk weerspiegelt de hedendaagse fascinatie voor historische ruïnes en de sublieme kracht van de natuurlijke wereld, thema's die centraal stonden in de Britse romantische traditie. Het schilderij nodigt de kijker uit om na te denken over de geschiedenis van de plek, die getuige is geweest van eeuwen van conflict en verandering in Noord-Wales. Door zijn zorgvuldige observatie en fantasierijke interpretatie creëert Ward een scène die zowel geworteld lijkt in de realiteit als doordrenkt is van een gevoel van historisch gewicht.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eMisschien vind je dit ook interessant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-persian-cafe-edwin-lord-weeks\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Persian Cafe - Edwin Lord Weeks — Edwin Lord Weeks\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/portrait-of-ye-i-durnova-karl-bryullov\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Ye.

The composition focuses on a quiet, rural scene where a donkey feeds from a wooden barrow while pigs rest upon straw nearby. Ward, who was heavily influenced by the Dutch masters such as Paulus Potter, often elevated humble farm animals to the status of primary subjects. His technique here employs a warm, earthy palette, using light to define the textures of the animals' coats and the surrounding rustic environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting reflects the broader British interest in agricultural life during the Romantic period. Ward avoids idealisation, choosing instead to capture the mundane reality of farmyard activity.

This approach creates a sense of intimacy, drawing the eye to the interaction between the donkey and its immediate surroundings.

His work often focused on the physical characteristics of livestock, reflecting the agricultural interests of the period. This study of a heifer demonstrates his technical precision in rendering animal anatomy and texture. The subject stands in profile, a common compositional choice for livestock portraiture of the era, which allowed for a clear assessment of the animal's form and condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe animal is depicted with a focus on the musculature and the subtle variations in its coat. Ward uses a muted palette to ground the subject within a simple, open field.

His approach to light and shadow gives the heifer a sense of physical weight and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard was influenced by the Dutch masters, particularly Paulus Potter, whose animal studies were highly regarded in Britain at the time.

Unlike the more dramatic or heroic animal scenes he produced later in his career, this work remains a focused observation of the creature itself. The painting captures the specific breed characteristics and the quiet stillness of the animal in its environment. It is a representative example of the genre of livestock portraiture, which served both as a record of agricultural achievement and as a subject for artistic study.

In this work, he captures a quiet moment at a stream where cattle and a rider gather. Ward, who began his career as an engraver, brought a precise observation of animal anatomy to his oil paintings, a skill that distinguishes his work from many of his contemporaries.

The light filters through the canopy, creating subtle contrasts on the hides of the cattle and the surface of the water.

The scene captures the aftermath of the prophet's encounter with a lion, which was sent as divine retribution for his failure to follow instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard employs a dramatic chiaroscuro to heighten the tension within the cavernous setting. The recumbent figure of the prophet, draped in a deep red cloth, lies in the foreground, his form rendered with anatomical precision. Beside him, the lion rests, its gaze fixed and powerful, serving as a reminder of the consequence of the prophet's actions. In the background, a secondary figure stands near the cave entrance, observing the scene, while a donkey remains tethered in the shadows, adding to the sense of isolation and stillness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist's mastery of animal anatomy is evident in the depiction of the lion, a subject for which Ward was well-regarded during his career.

This work reflects the broader interest in moralising narratives that occupied many British artists of the nineteenth century.

His work often combined a rigorous observation of livestock with the dramatic atmospheric effects characteristic of the Romantic period. This composition features a group of sheep resting in the shade of a gnarled, weathered tree, while two cattle stand nearby in the open field. The artist employs a low horizon line, which allows the expansive, cloud-filled sky to dominate the upper portion of the canvas. This technique creates a sense of openness and scale, typical of the rural English countryside that Ward frequently depicted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting demonstrates Ward's technical skill in rendering animal anatomy and texture. The sheep are grouped in a naturalistic manner, their woolly forms contrasting with the smooth, muscular build of the cattle.

The tree, with its twisted trunk and sparse branches, serves as a structural anchor for the scene, guiding the viewer's eye from the immediate foreground towards the distant, hazy horizon.

Ward, a painter known for his animal studies and equestrian subjects, brings a specific focus to the relationship between the sitter and his horse. The composition follows the tradition of the grand manner portrait, yet it possesses a moody, atmospheric quality characteristic of early nineteenth-century British Romanticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSir John Fleming Leicester is shown standing beside his mount, his hand resting upon the saddle. The uniform, with its red jacket and military accoutrements, provides a sharp contrast against the dark, indistinct background. The horse, rendered with the anatomical precision for which Ward was celebrated, lowers its head, creating a sense of quietude that balances the formal posture of the sitter. The lighting is dramatic, with a focus on the face of the Baron and the texture of the military attire, while the surrounding space recedes into deep shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard was an accomplished engraver before turning to painting, and his technical skill is evident in the handling of the paint, particularly in the rendering of the horse's coat and the metallic details of the harness.

The muted palette and the soft, painterly application of colour contribute to the overall sombre tone of the piece. This print captures the nuances of Ward's brushwork, offering a clear view of the textures and the interplay of light that define the original composition.

In this composition, Ward captures a moment of avian movement set against a structured, architectural backdrop.

The inclusion of the red drapery adds a vertical element that draws the eye upward, balancing the horizontal spread of the swans on the water.

The composition depicts a confrontation between a white horse and a large serpent. Ward, who was heavily influenced by the dramatic style of Peter Paul Rubens, employs a theatrical approach to animal anatomy and behaviour. The horse is shown in a state of agitation, its body tensed and eyes wide, reacting to the coiled snake positioned on a rocky outcrop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe setting is sparse, focusing the viewer's attention on the interaction between the two creatures. Ward uses a palette of earthy tones, punctuated by the stark white of the horse, to create a sense of tension. The sky is filled with turbulent clouds, a common feature in Romantic art, which adds to the atmosphere of unease. The brushwork is precise, particularly in the rendering of the horse's mane and the scales of the serpent, demonstrating Ward's technical skill in capturing animal textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting is representative of the artist's interest in the power of nature and the raw instincts of animals.

In this work, dated 1821, he depicts a spaniel in a moment of sudden action. The dog, positioned on the right, lunges towards a group of ducks near the water's edge. The birds are caught in a state of alarm, with wings spread and bodies angled to take flight from the pond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard employs a dramatic approach to the scene. The spaniel is rendered with careful attention to the texture of its coat, showing the artist's skill in animal anatomy.

James Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dramatic 1823 oil painting by James Ward depicting a poacher with his horse and a fallen deer in a shadowed, atmospheric woodland setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Ward, a prominent figure in British Romantic painting, produced The Deer Stealer in 1823. This work demonstrates his technical skill in depicting both animal anatomy and atmospheric conditions. The composition features a poacher in the foreground, caught in the act of securing a fallen deer, while his horse stands nearby. The scene is framed by dark, gnarled trees that create a sense of enclosure and secrecy, typical of the dramatic narratives Ward favoured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighting in the painting is particularly notable. A sliver of light breaks through the dense canopy, illuminating the central figures and the deer, while the background recedes into a moody, shadowed expanse. Ward was heavily influenced by the Dutch masters, particularly Rubens, which is evident in the muscularity of the horse and the dynamic, somewhat theatrical posture of the human figure. The texture of the bark, the dappled coat of the deer, and the subtle variations in the foliage reflect his meticulous approach to observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard was not merely an animal painter, though he gained fame for his ability to capture the spirit and physical presence of livestock and wildlife. He often imbued his subjects with a sense of tension or drama, moving beyond simple documentation. In this piece, the narrative of the illicit hunt provides a vehicle for exploring the relationship between man, beast, and the untamed environment. The work remains a fine example of the British tradition of sporting and animal art during the early nineteenth century, where the focus shifted from purely aristocratic portraiture to more evocative, atmospheric depictions of rural life and the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp

Chestnut Stallion in the Grounds of Powis Castle - James Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed oil painting by James Ward featuring a chestnut stallion set against the atmospheric grounds of Powis Castle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Ward, a prominent figure in British animal painting during the early nineteenth century, produced this work during a period when the genre moved beyond simple portraiture into the realm of Romantic expression. The painting depicts a chestnut stallion standing in a commanding pose, its musculature rendered with anatomical precision. Ward, who began his career as an engraver, brought a technical rigour to his oil paintings that allowed for the fine definition of the horse's coat and the flowing texture of its mane and tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe setting, the grounds of Powis Castle, provides a backdrop that balances the animal's physical presence with the atmospheric conditions of the Welsh countryside. The sky is filled with turbulent, shifting clouds, a hallmark of the Romantic interest in the power of nature. The castle itself is visible in the distance, grounded in the rolling terrain. Ward uses a palette dominated by earthy tones, ochres, and deep browns, which unify the subject with the environment. The light catches the stallion's flank, creating a sense of volume and movement that contrasts with the more muted, distant view of the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard was known for his ability to capture the spirit of his animal subjects, often imbuing them with a sense of nobility. This work reflects his interest in the relationship between livestock and the landed estates of Britain. By placing the stallion on a slight rise, he elevates the animal, making it the primary focus of the composition. The brushwork is controlled yet expressive, particularly in the treatment of the sky and the grassy foreground.

It depicts the grounds of Tabley House in Cheshire, the seat of Sir John Leicester, a significant patron of the arts during the period. The composition is dominated by a dramatic, cloud-filled sky that stretches across the upper portion of the canvas, casting a moody light over the scene below. Ward, who was well-regarded for his animal studies, includes a group of cattle resting and wading in the water, providing a sense of scale and rural tranquillity against the architectural presence of the tower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tower itself, a distinctive feature of the Tabley estate, rises from the water, creating a vertical anchor for the eye. The water reflects the shifting tones of the sky, while the foreground is rendered with earthy, textured brushwork that captures the damp ground and the varied hides of the livestock. Ward employs a palette of muted browns, deep greens, and stormy greys to convey the atmospheric conditions of the English countryside. His approach to the subject reflects the influence of earlier Dutch masters, particularly in the handling of light and the integration of animals into the wider environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting is representative of the British pastoral tradition, where the nobility of the estate is combined with the natural beauty of the working farm. The inclusion of the small boat and the swans adds a layer of quiet activity to the scene, balancing the stillness of the grazing cattle. Ward's technical skill is evident in the way he manages the transition from the dark, heavy clouds to the reflective surface of the lake. The work remains a fine example of early nineteenth-century British art, capturing a specific location with both topographical accuracy and a romantic sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/herding-cattle-in-the-mountains-david-cox\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHerding Cattle in the Mountains by David Cox\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/wooded-landscape-with-horseman-thomas-gainsborough\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWooded Landscape with Horseman by Thomas Gainsborough\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJames Ward prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59139041165647,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59139050471759,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59139050504527,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59139050537295,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59139050570063,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59139050602831,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59139050635599,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59139050668367,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59139050701135,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59139050733903,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59139050766671,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59139050799439,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59139050832207,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59139050864975,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59139050897743,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59139050930511,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59139050963279,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59139050996047,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59139051028815,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59139051061583,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/View-in-Tabley-Park_Poster_CompositorV1_1792121660554.jpg?v=1792205044"},{"product_id":"duckweeds-james-ward","title":"Duckweeds -

In this work, he presents a detailed view of a pond edge, where the foreground is occupied by dense aquatic vegetation and a group of ducks. The artist employs a precise brush technique to capture the textures of the reeds and the surface of the water, creating a sense of immediate proximity to the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the immediate pond, the composition opens into a wide, rolling countryside. A rainbow arches across the sky, providing a soft, atmospheric light that illuminates the distant fields and the figures of workers tending to the harvest. This juxtaposition of the intimate, detailed foreground with the expansive, atmospheric distance is a hallmark of Ward's approach to rural subjects. The inclusion of cattle sheltered beneath the trees on the left adds a sense of pastoral calm, reinforcing the connection between the livestock and the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard's work often reflects the influence of Dutch masters, particularly in his handling of light and his focus on the minutiae of the rural environment. The palette is grounded in earthy tones, with the greens of the foliage and the muted browns of the soil providing a naturalistic base. The rainbow serves as a subtle, unifying element, drawing the eye across the scene and connecting the terrestrial details to the broader sky.

His work often combined technical precision with a dramatic sensibility, influenced by his admiration for the Dutch masters and his contemporary, George Stubbs. In this study, the subject is a solitary black horse positioned in profile against an expansive, atmospheric sky. The animal is rendered with careful attention to its musculature and the sheen of its coat, which contrasts against the muted, earthy tones of the surrounding field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard frequently explored the character of his subjects, moving beyond simple documentation to capture a sense of presence. The composition is balanced, with the horse occupying the centre of the frame, allowing the viewer to focus on the anatomical accuracy and the subtle play of light across the animal's dark hide. The background, while secondary, provides a sense of scale and environment, typical of the period's approach to equestrian portraiture. The sky, filled with soft, rolling clouds, suggests a quiet, overcast day, which serves to soften the overall palette of the painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the artist's ability to balance observation with a controlled, painterly technique. Ward's career spanned several decades, and his output included both large-scale historical compositions and smaller, more intimate animal studies. This particular piece demonstrates his skill in handling light and texture, ensuring the horse remains the primary focus. The painting is a clear example of the British tradition of animal portraiture, where the individual character of the animal is treated with the same seriousness as a human subject. It remains a representative example of Ward's contribution to the genre, showing his technical proficiency and his eye for natural form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-grey-stallion-in-a-landscape-george-stubbs\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Grey Stallion in a Landscape by George Stubbs\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-saddled-race-horse-tied-to-a-fence-horace-vernet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Saddled Race Horse Tied to a Fence by Horace Vernet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJames Ward artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146860265807,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146867114319,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146867147087,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146867179855,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146867212623,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146867245391,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146867278159,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146867310927,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146867343695,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146867376463,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146867409231,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146867441999,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146867474767,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146867507535,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146867540303,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146867573071,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146867605839,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146867638607,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146867671375,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146867704143,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Black-Horse_Poster_CompositorV1_1792126149224.jpg?v=1792286768"},{"product_id":"storm-james-ward","title":"Storm -

In this work, the artist captures a fleeting atmospheric condition, where the sky dominates the composition with heavy, impasto-laden clouds. The palette is dominated by fiery oranges and deep, earthy browns, creating a sense of impending turbulence that characterises the Romantic interest in the sublime power of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene depicts a solitary figure travelling along a path, dwarfed by the expansive, darkening horizon. To the left, two trees stand as silhouettes against the glowing sky, their forms rendered with loose, expressive brushwork. In the distance, the faint outline of a church spire provides a small, human-made anchor within the vastness of the environment. Ward uses the contrast between the illuminated upper atmosphere and the shadowed ground to guide the viewer's eye across the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the painting demonstrates Ward's skill in handling oil paint to convey texture and light. The application of paint is thick, particularly in the clouds, where the artist has built up layers to suggest the physical weight of the storm. This approach moves away from the precise detail of his earlier animal studies, favouring instead a more emotive and gestural style. The work reflects the period's fascination with weather as a vehicle for mood and internal reflection, rather than a mere topographical record. By focusing on the interplay of light and shadow, Ward creates a scene that feels both immediate and timeless, inviting the viewer to contemplate the scale of the natural world in relation to the individual traveller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/landscape-with-a-castle-john-martin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLandscape with a Castle by John Martin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/two-men-by-the-sea-caspar-david-friedrich\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTwo Men by the Sea by Caspar David Friedrich\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by James Ward →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146974986575,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146977313103,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146977345871,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146977378639,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59146977411407,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146977444175,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146977476943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146977509711,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146977542479,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146977575247,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146977608015,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146977640783,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146977673551,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146977706319,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146977739087,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146977771855,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146977804623,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59146977837391,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59146977870159,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59146977902927,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Storm_Poster_CompositorV1_1792126845235.jpg?v=1792289598"},{"product_id":"the-battle-of-marston-moor-james-ward","title":"The Battle of Marston Moor - James Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dramatic depiction of the English Civil War by James Ward, focusing on the chaotic energy of a cavalry charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Ward, a painter known for his animal studies and dramatic compositions, captures the chaotic intensity of the English Civil War in this depiction of the Battle of Marston Moor. The 1644 engagement was a decisive moment for the Parliamentarian forces, yet Ward focuses on the visceral experience of the cavalry charge. The composition is dominated by the movement of horses, reflecting the artist's expertise in equine anatomy. Riders and mounts are caught in a tangle of conflict, with rearing animals and fallen soldiers creating a sense of immediate, violent motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard employs a palette of muted earth tones, punctuated by the white of the horses and the flashes of steel armour. The sky above is heavy with dark, turbulent clouds, which add to the atmosphere of impending doom and atmospheric pressure common in Romantic history painting. Unlike the static, formalised battle scenes of earlier centuries, this work prioritises the raw energy of the struggle. The figures are rendered with loose, expressive brushwork, conveying the confusion of the battlefield rather than a clear tactical overview.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece demonstrates Ward's ability to imbue historical subjects with a sense of emotional weight. The focus remains on the physical toll of the conflict, as seen in the foreground where horses and men are locked in a desperate struggle. By avoiding a singular heroic focus, the artist presents the battle as a collective, overwhelming event. The work remains a significant example of British Romanticism, where the interest in nature and animal form merges with the dramatic retelling of national history. It provides a window into how nineteenth-century artists interpreted the turbulent events of the seventeenth century, prioritising mood and kinetic energy over precise documentary accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/zrinyis-charge-from-the-fortress-of-szigetvar-bertalan-szekely\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eZrinyi's Charge from the Fortress of Szigetvár by Bertalan Székely\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/bradshaws-defence-of-manchester-a-d-1642-ford-madox-brown\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBradshaw's Defence of Manchester, A.D. 1642 by Ford Madox Brown\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by James Ward →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147056906575,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147059003727,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147059036495,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147059069263,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147059102031,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147059134799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147059167567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147059200335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147059233103,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147059265871,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147059298639,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147059331407,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147059364175,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147059396943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147059429711,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147059462479,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147059495247,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147059528015,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147059560783,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147059593551,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Battle-of-Marston-Moor_Poster_CompositorV1_1793959516322.jpg?v=1793959634"},{"product_id":"pigs-james-ward","title":"Pigs - James Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eA study of a sow and her piglets by James Ward, rendered with the dramatic lighting and textured brushwork characteristic of his Romantic style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Ward was a central figure in British animal painting during the early nineteenth century. His approach to the subject often moved beyond simple documentation, incorporating the dramatic lighting and atmospheric qualities associated with the Romantic movement. In this study of pigs, Ward focuses on the texture of the animals and their environment, using a palette dominated by earthy tones and deep shadows to create a sense of weight and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition centres on a large sow resting in a straw-filled enclosure, surrounded by her litter. Ward employs a chiaroscuro effect, where the pale, rough hide of the mother contrasts against the dark, murky background of the sty. This technique draws the viewer's eye to the physical form of the animals, emphasising their bulk and the tactile quality of their bristles. The surrounding environment is rendered with loose, expressive brushwork, suggesting the damp and enclosed nature of the space without unnecessary detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWard was known for his ability to capture the character of livestock, a skill that earned him significant commissions from agriculturalists and landowners of the period. Unlike the idealised animal portraits common in the eighteenth century, Ward's work often reflects a more direct observation of nature. He treats the subject with a seriousness typically reserved for portraiture or history painting. The result is a work that captures a quiet, domestic moment within the farmyard, presented with the technical rigour and dramatic flair that defined his career. This print captures the subtle variations in tone and the heavy, impasto-like quality of the original oil painting, providing a clear view of Ward's mastery of light and form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/cattle-by-a-stream-george-stubbs\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eCattle by a Stream by George Stubbs\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/a-saddled-race-horse-tied-to-a-fence-horace-vernet\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Saddled Race Horse Tied to a Fence by Horace Vernet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/collections\/james-ward\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eJames Ward prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147090559311,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147098161487,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147098194255,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147098227023,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59147098259791,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147098292559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147098325327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147098358095,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147098390863,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147098423631,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147098456399,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147098489167,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147098521935,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147098554703,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147098587471,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147098620239,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147098653007,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59147098685775,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59147098718543,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59147098751311,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Pigs_Poster_CompositorV1_1792125287747.jpg?v=1792293247"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/nl\/collections\/james-ward.oembed?page=3","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
