The Sleighing Season - The Upset
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white wood engraving from the 19th century that captures a dramatic moment in winter transportation. Created by an unknown artist and published in Harper's Weekly on January 14,1860, this print showcases the skill of Winslow Homer, one of America's renowned painters. In this scene, set in rural America during the sleighing season, we witness an unexpected accident. A horse-drawn sleigh has overturned on a snowy road, causing chaos among its passengers. Men and women are thrown off their seats as they desperately try to regain balance amidst falling snowflakes. The fallen horse adds to the sense of urgency and danger. This artwork beautifully conveys both the excitement and perils of winter travel in 19th-century America. It serves as a reminder of how weather conditions could turn joyous outings into unforeseen accidents. Through intricate details and masterful shading techniques, Homer brings life to each character's expression – fear etched on their faces as they grapple with the sudden mishap. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) today, this historic piece offers us a glimpse into daily life during that era while showcasing Homer's talent for capturing human emotions within his artistry. As we admire "The Sleighing Season - The Upset" we are transported back in time to experience both the beauty and challenges faced by our ancestors when navigating wintry landscapes using traditional modes of transport like horse-drawn vehicles.
