Field Mouse: A Tiny Creature with a Big Impact The field mouse, also known as the Bewick Fieldmouse, is a fascinating creature that has captured the attention of artists and observers throughout history. One such depiction can be seen in "Two Springs, 1910, " an oil on canvas painting that showcases the delicate beauty of these small rodents. In another artwork titled "Wary mice above a cat pretending to sleep, 1811, " we witness the cautious nature of field mice as they navigate their surroundings. This etching perfectly captures their instinctual wariness and survival skills. Contrasting this scene is "A young lioness crushing a mouse under its paw, 1811. " In this etching, we are reminded of the vulnerability faced by these tiny creatures in the face of larger predators. It serves as a reminder of their constant struggle for survival in nature's intricate web. Interestingly enough, even humans have found uses for field mice. An engraving from 1803 depicts a Dutch rat-catcher equipped with tools to control rodent populations. This image highlights our long-standing relationship with these creatures and our efforts to coexist peacefully. Moving away from artistry and into literature, field mice make appearances in various tales and fables. In Noah Entering the Ark (1681), an oil on canvas masterpiece showcasing biblical events, we see how every living being was accounted for during one of history's most famous floods - including these humble little mammals. However, not all encounters between humans and field mice have been pleasant ones. A comical lithograph entitled "Mouse found in soup" reminds us that sometimes unexpected guests can disrupt our daily routines – even if unintentionally. But it's not just about artistic interpretations or humorous mishaps; there is scientific value attached to studying these creatures too. Take for instance Muskrat (1860), depicted through vibrant color lithography - capturing both its physical features and its habitat.
