Original Description
Edwin Thomas Roberts' "And The Bees Like The Honey" is a luminous celebration of nature's quiet poetry, where golden sunlight dances across wildflowers teeming with bees frozen in mid-flight. Painted circa late 19th century during the British Newlyn School movement, Roberts' signature loose brushwork dissolves botanical forms into impressionistic dapples while maintaining remarkable scientific accuracy in insect depictions – an approach praised by contemporaries like Walter Sickert. The canvas hums with tactile energy through thick impasto honey drips that refract light authentically, a technique developed during Roberts' beekeeping fieldwork in Cornwall. This transitional work bridges Pre-Raphaelite naturalism with emerging plein-air spontaneity, occupying a unique niche in the British rural naturalism movement preceding modern environmental art.
For interior applications, this masterpiece's 24×30 inch dimensions make it ideal above mantels or console tables where viewers can appreciate intricate brushwork at intimate distances. Its dominant honey-amber palette naturally harmonizes with Farrow & Ball's "India Yellow" walls or terracotta textiles, while the floral accents invite coordinating with William Morris botanical prints. In home offices, the painting's productivity symbolism shines alongside mahogany bookcases and brass task lamps, preferably illuminated by north-facing natural light to replicate Roberts' original outdoor working conditions. Consider pairing with rough-linen drapery to echo the canvas's textured surface, or displaying beside hexagonal shelving units that subtly reference honeycomb structures within the composition.
