Cottage & Farm

Lake Lucerne, Albert Bierstadt

The cottage and the farmyard are the humble end of landscape, all thatch, mud, and weathered timber. Painters of the picturesque sought out the tumbledown dwelling for its texture, and the working farm, with its barn and its stock, grounded the rural scene in real labour rather than pastoral ease.
