Fine Art Tuesday

 

Heywood Hardy born in 1842 in Britain and died in 1933. Unlike many artists, Hardy was a commercial success in his lifetime. He found a lucrative niche and took full advantage.

His images present a romantic version of England much like "The Old West" is romanticized in the US. Regardless of how sanitized that vision is, they provide enjoyment to many viewers who may need a vacation from their daily life.

    Thanks as always ERJ. Indeed, an "idealized England" the way we have the "idealized West".

    I have only seen someone ride side saddle in horse shows, never on a trail. You would think after almost 50 years of riding you would bump in to some horsewoman giving it a try but so far nope.
