Glebe Farm Possibly 1832

"Glebe Farm" is a mezzotint by David Lucas, dating back to 1832. This black and white print depicts a picturesque English countryside scene with a farmhouse and a winding path, all framed by lush trees and dramatic clouds. The use of dark and light tones creates a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective, a hallmark of mezzotint, a technique where the artist creates a dense network of small dots to produce tonal variation. Located at the Art Institute of Chicago, "Glebe Farm" is an exquisite example of 19th-century landscape art, showcasing the beauty of the natural world.
