One of the great pleasures of the countryside now is seeing the truly golden fields of corn and stubble, and perhaps clouds of grain dust against the evening sun as the crops are harvested. Many English artists have captured these timeless scenes; this is The Cornfield (1918, Tate) by John Nash (1893-1977), a "gilded vision of corn stooks dancing a jig (or so it seems) on a Buckinghamshire hillside", as James Russell puts it.
