"Haymaking in Switzerland" - painted by H. Moore, from the Exhibition of the National Institution, 1857. Engraving of..."Haymaking in Switzerland: Lausanne. Painted on the spot"...what can be more true to nature than those sturdy oxen standing in the sunshine, with their drooping white eyelashes, and the shadows from their ears and horns creeping along their rough and shaggy sides? Why, laziness and good living on such rich, fragrant, flowery provender as that before them are marked in every trait of their condition. They are so perfectly painted as to form unquestionably the great attraction of the picture...Agriculturists will, no doubt, find some amusement, not merely in the uneconomical employment of a yoke of oxen to so small a load, but in the primeval simplicity of the method by which they are attached to the cart, and likewise in the primitive lumbering form of the cart itself'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857

Haymaking in Switzerland,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating painting by Henry Moore, showcased at the Exhibition of the National Institution in 1857, transports us to the picturesque landscapes of Lausanne. This masterpiece, beautifully engraved as "Haymaking in Switzerland: Lausanne," invites us to savor the authenticity of rural life in the Alpine region. The painting's focal point is the pair of sturdy oxen, standing proudly in the sunshine. Their white, drooping eyelashes and the shadows cast by their ears and horns add to their lifelike portrayal. The artist has captured their leisurely disposition, a testament to the rich, fragrant, and flowery provender before them. Agriculturists, upon observing this scene, may find amusement in the seemingly inefficient employment of a yoke of oxen to such a small load. However, the primitive simplicity of their attachment to the cart and the lumbering form of the cart itself reflect the primal charm of the scene. The "Illustrated London News" of 1857, in its appreciation of this painting, highlights the unquestionable allure of the oxen, which undeniably forms the picture's most captivating element. Moore's skillful brushstrokes bring the scene to life, allowing us to witness the essence of rural Switzerland in its most authentic form. This engraving, a faithful representation of Moore's original painting, invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty of rural life, the strength of nature, and the artistry of the painter.
