The artwork titled “Old Corn Mill, Stockbridge” by John Bradley is a portrayal of a landscape and is associated with the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement.
The artwork depicts a tranquil rural scene featuring a corn mill situated by a river, with a serene countryside expanded in the background. The mill is shown to the left amid lush greenery and rolling hills that are softly illuminated by natural light. A few figures are positioned by the water and near a rustic wooden bridge, providing a glimpse of everyday pastoral life. Slender trees reach into the sky, their sparse branches creating subtle, intricate patterns against the backdrop. The brushwork is simple yet evocative, fitting within the Naïve Art movement’s characteristic simplicity and directness, thus capturing the peaceful essence of the agrarian landscape.
