"Corn Stooks" is a painting by James Ward (1769–1859), an English painter particularly known for his animal paintings and works depicting rural life. Ward was one of the outstanding artists of his day, his work spanning a wide range of subjects including history, landscapes, portraits, and animal studies.

"Corn Stooks" exemplifies Ward's interest in the British countryside and agricultural practices. A stook, also known as a shock, is a group of sheaves of grain stood up in a field to dry and ripen. This method of drying and collecting grain was common before the advent of modern harvesting machinery. In the painting, Ward captures the golden hue of the corn stooks set against a landscape, likely under the changing light of the day, which was a common theme in his work.

The painting is characteristic of Ward's detailed style and his ability to capture the textures of the natural world. His works often reflected the beauty of the English landscape and the changing seasons, and "Corn Stooks" is no exception. It showcases his skill in rendering the effects of light and atmosphere, as well as his appreciation for the agricultural labor that shaped the countryside.

As an artist who was also an associate and later a Royal Academician, Ward's works were widely recognized and appreciated during his lifetime. "Corn Stooks" contributes to the understanding of Ward's oeuvre and the genre of landscape painting in the early 19th century. It reflects the rural idylls and the agrarian lifestyle that were becoming subjects of nostalgia during the period of Britain's rapid industrialization and urbanization.

The painting is a testament to Ward's mastery of oil painting and his dedication to depicting the English countryside with authenticity and artistic sensitivity. "Corn Stooks" remains an important work for scholars studying the history of British art and the representation of rural life during the Georgian and early Victorian eras.
