Alfred William Strutt ⁽⁴⁾

Alfred William Strutt (1825–1911) was an English painter and illustrator, best known for his detailed landscapes, particularly of rural life and the English countryside. Strutt had a special knack for capturing the peaceful, often nostalgic beauty of the countryside, especially in the early years of industrialization, when the serene natural world was in danger of vanishing.

His work often depicted charming rural scenes, like farmers working the land, sheep grazing, and tranquil rivers winding through idyllic meadows. He was also a keen observer of wildlife, producing finely rendered illustrations of animals and birds.
