About Home To Thanksgiving

The artwork titled “Home To Thanksgiving” was created by Currier and Ives in the year 1867. This piece is associated with the Romanticism art movement and falls under the genre of cityscape.

The artwork depicts a serene winter scene characterized by snow-covered landscapes and buildings. A central farmhouse, adorned with a snow-laden roof, stands prominently on the right side. To the left, various farm structures, including barns and sheds, are visible. The image captures a moment of familial reunion as a group of people, warmly dressed for the cold weather, gather at the porch of the farmhouse, suggesting a homecoming for the Thanksgiving celebration. In the foreground, a man is seen guiding a pair of oxen pulling a sled, while a horse and carriage are stationed nearby. The trees, devoid of leaves, further emphasize the wintry setting, creating a picturesque and nostalgic representation of 19th-century rural life during the holiday season.
