The artwork titled “Turkeys” was created by Stanley Spencer in 1925. It belongs to the Neo-Romanticism art movement and falls under the genre of landscape.
The artwork presents a detailed rural scene featuring a wooden structure, possibly part of a farm or barn, against a backdrop of dense foliage. Turkeys can be seen perched on the beams of the structure, their intricate feathers rendered with meticulous attention to detail. The interplay of light and shadow creates a dynamic, almost theatrical atmosphere, further accentuated by the lush greenery surrounding the wooden framework. The overall composition conveys a serene yet lively depiction of rural life, characteristic of the Neo-Romanticism movement’s emphasis on emotional engagement with nature.
