Oil Painting John Linnell (1792-1882) Milking Time
John Linnell (1792-1882)
Milking Time
Oil on canvas
Signed J. Linnell (lower right). The title including the name of the artist and other illegible inscriptions are written on the back of the canvas in brown ink.
In the painting we see a dog running behind the farmer carrying two pails of milk. The cow is standing facing a stream next to a partially ruined building with chickens nesting nearby. It’s difficult to discern but the farmer appears to be glancing towards the barn where two figures appear to be kissing?
John Linnell was brought up in an artistic environment. His father, James, was a carver and gilder. Young Linnell's artistic talents became apparent at an early age and his father was able to capitalise on them setting his son to work producing copies of George Morland (whose works were much in demand), which he was able to sell.
The young Linnell become acquainted with John Varley (the distinguished landscape painter and influential teacher). Varley was able to persuade James Linnell to let his son become one of his pupils. At that time William Hunt was also a pupil. A powerful early influence on Linnell was William Mulready, another pupil of Varley’s, who was studying at the Royal Academy when Linnell first met him. After around a year with Varley, John Linnell entered the Royal Academy School in 1805 at the age of only thirteen.
Linnell was a very versatile artist, able to work in a number of mediums. He worked in both oils and watercolours. He painted miniatures on ivory and was a skilled engraver. Whilst at the Royal Academy he received a medal for drawing from life (1807) and one for life modelling (1810).
He became an extremely thriving portrait painter but his real passion was always landscape painting. From the late 1840’s he abandoned portraiture in favour of landscapes. Deeply religious, his work includes Biblical landscapes as well as those of Surrey where he lived from 1851 onwards. Throughout his life, his work was much in demand and he became very prosperous.
