The Sheep of His Pasture, 1828. Creator: Edward Calvert (British, 1799-1883)
The Sheep of His Pasture, 1828. Calvert was so influenced by William Blakes wood engravings that The Sheep of his Pasture is directly based on an illustration for The Pastorals of Virgil (on view nearby). Calvert, however, even more than Blake, exploited the ability of wood engraving to achieve the most delicate detail, so astonishing in these miniatures. Calverts subject matter originated from a vision of the golden age of pastoral innocence and abundance that has both Christian and classical overtones. The women in The Brook resemble figures carved on antique gems, and the tree stumps symbolize the transitory nature of life
