'The Apple Gatherers' (1880) by Frederick Morgan is my favourite example, found in many a sitting room across the UK alongside similarly down-to-earth pieces.

Visible brushstrokes aren't solely what makes paintings good, but simply one aspect of a greater concept.

In my case, half a lifetime comforted by a faded print of 'Poppy Field' (1873) by Claude Monet in my grandparent's dining room before ever seeing the original in person.
