An Old English Homestead - painted by R. Redgrave, R.A., 1854. 'When people think of Mr. Redgrave, they think of the cool saloons of Marlborough-house, and the hot rooms of a School of Design. He is often in them, it is true; but at home he is thinking of other places-of shady glens and green lanes; of trawling brooks, and hedgerow elms; the morning grove; the evening colonnade of trees that overhang one another so thickly that the sun is seldom seen to penetrate through them; of pools abounding in trout; of lane-side cottages from which the smoke is seen to curl with an un-London-like tinge-of spots dear to the heart of the Dutch Hobbema and the English Gainsborough...Mr. Redgrave thoroughly understands what the English comprehend- landscape painting. We feel that he renders truly what is before him; no common merit that he is not attempting to improve on nature'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
