Dame Laura Knight: A Girl Reading
“A young woman, in profile is reading a letter in a sunlit landscape; she wears a white blouse and her auburn hair is pinned under a broad-brimmed straw hat, its red ribbon falling over her left shoulder. On closer inspection, spots of sunlight piercing through the weave of the hat fall on to her face…
Dame Laura Knight: The Penton Children
“Knight’s superb handling of watercolour is evident in this dazzling en plein air portrait of Stephen, Michael and Anthony Penton, painted in their grandfather’s New Forest garden. In contrast to the broad brushstrokes of her oil paintings, Laura’s delicate and detailed watercolours of this period demonstrate her highly refined technique.” READ FULL ESSAY: Richard Green…

Philip de László: Princess Ruspoli, Duchess de Gramont
For this portrait, de László has employed unusual shades of green and purple not often seen in his palette. This, and the swathe of material draped about her head, may be said to reflect the original tastes of his sitter, well known as a fashion icon, whose olive skinned beauty well suited these colours. Christie’s…
Dame Laura Knight: Gypsies at Home
“Knight first became fascinated by gypsies at Ascot race meetings where, for many years, she drew and painted them from the comfort of a shining Rolls Royce; ‘This Royal meeting was a special occasion for the gipsies [sic.]; they came in their bright satin gala dresses, hair elaborately arranged with curls soaped to their cheeks,…
Carlo Antonio Campioni: Sonata in G Minor
The Vivaldi Project“Praised for its brilliant and expressive playing, The Vivaldi Project presents innovative programs of Baroque and Classical string repertoire that combine scholarship and performance to both educate and delight audiences. The period instrument ensemble takes its name from the virtuoso violinist and innovative composer Antonio Vivaldi in recognition of his pivotal position between…
Ambrose McEvoy: Vicomtesse Phyllis de Janzé
“McEvoy excelled when painting the great, the good and the glamourous and had a penchant for rebellious young women whose defiance he could ineffably translate onto canvas. Phyllis was one such woman. Her name features prominently in diaries from the period which comment on her fondness for fashion and her daring disregard for the entrenched…
Alfred Munnings: A Huntsman Riding Through a Thicket
“Living at Church Farm in Swainsthorpe from around 1903 until 1911, Munnings often rode with the Norwich Staghounds: ‘Hunting became a part of my life, and I saw many things on those days: bright winter sunlight on clipped horses and scarlet coats; on bare trees; stacks; on farmhouse gables; the riding out after a slight…
Dame Laura Knight: In the Sun, Newlyn
“In the Sun, Newlyn was made around 1909, and is a distillation of a hot, carefree Edwardian summer… The Knights had taken lodgings in the village of Paul with the cheerful, eccentric Mrs Beer, who owned the Penzer House guest house; from their rooms ‘the whole stretch of the bay could be seen and grey…
Philip de Laszlo: Master of Portraiture
“Philip de László was one of the most stylish and successful portrait painters of the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries. Like John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), he was an exponent of the fluidly-painted ‘swagger portrait’, but always managed to capture a sense of the sitter’s interior life, sometimes with a tinge of…

Harold Knight: Alfred Munnings Reading
“The recent discovery of Harold Knight’s Alfred Munnings Reading…sheds new light on a fascinating moment in the early careers of both artist and sitter. When embarking on her ballet picture, Carnaval…, for reasons that remain obscure, Laura Knight selected a canvas which was stretched on top of a work by her husband, and only when…
William Nicholson : Double Anemones (1921)
“Here Nicholson employs an almost square format, which is unusual for him, and the rich, dark background of his pre-war still lifes makes a return. The scarlet, purple, pink and white anemones in a simple white mug with painted decoration are standing on a thin white cloth, partially covering a plain wooden table. Silver and…

A Little Mozart, A Little Munnings
“Munnings frequently experimented with this theme of a huntsman manoeuvering through thick brush approaching a bank or ditch and this is typical of his style at this date. His own hunting experiences often inspired his vision and it is probable that this horse is ‘the brown mare’ whom Munnings describes in his memoirs as ‘a…
Dame Laura Knight: The Nuremberg Trial
“Knight was appointed a ‘war correspondent’ for this commission and made a special BBC broadcast from Nuremberg. She gained special access to the broadcasting box just above the prisoners where she was able to make charcoal studies of the main protagonists amongst the lawyers and the accused. Her painting reproduces faithfully the courtroom scene and…

Mozart: String Quartet No. 21 in D major, K. 575
Sharp is primarily celebrated for her sundrenched landscapes such as the present painting. The critic for The Artist stated in April 1935 that ‘I think I can say without fear of contradiction that Dorothea Sharp is one of England’s greatest living painters. Full of sunshine and luscious colour, her work is always lively, harmonious and…
Sir Alfred James Munnings: Jogging On (1912)
“Munnings often used his own horses and groom as models and this horse, Patrick, despite his cropped tail and banged mane, was a particular favourite. On this grey day, the artist used a subdued palette yet adds life and brightness by juxtaposing the scarlet of the huntsman’s jacket with the close vivid hues of green…

Dame Laura Knight: ‘I Paint Today’
“At the Edge of the Cliff is one of the strongest works in this clifftop series. The young woman in her striking striped blue and white skirt and white jumper has a timeless quality to her, her outfit feeling as modern to a contemporary audience as it did over 100 years ago. She stands on the…
Alfred Sisley: Matinée d’octobre près de Port-Marly (c1876)
“Painted following the First Impressionist Exhibition in April 1874—which had opened the eyes of the public to the revolutionary Impressionist aesthetic—and around the time of its second iteration which helped cement the validity of its new, modern terminology, Matinée d’octobre près de Port-Marly pays fitting homage to the movement’s pursuit of painting en plein air. Determined to capture…
Ambrose McEvoy: Portrait of Lady Gwendoline Churchill
When this work was exhibited at the New English Art Club just after Ambrose McEvoy’s shocking and sudden death of pneumonia at the age of only forty-nine, the Times critic praised the painting – which had been given pride of place in the exhibition – for serving ‘very well to recall the characteristic powers of…
Ambrose McEvoy: Lady Patricia Moore
“Despite being one of the most successful society portrait painters of his day, Ambrose McEvoy has until recently been overlooked. Born in 1877, McEvoy painted a plethora of important sitters throughout his career including Sir Winston Churchill and Lady Diana Cooper. McEvoy demonstrated exceptional artistic abilities from a young age. Encouraged by his father, Captain…
Sir Alfred James Munnings: Crostwick Common, Woman With a Donkey and Geese
Crostwick Common: Woman with a Donkey and Geese was executed in 1904, when Munnings stayed at an inn called the Crostwick White Horse, near Norwich, and painted at Crostwick Common. In his memoir An Artist’s Life, published nearly fifty years after the picture was completed, Munnings recalled those charmed days: ‘Then came the open Common….
Sir Alfred Munnings: Langham Mill Pool
The Best of British Impressionism A strong supporter of en plein-air painting, Sir Alfred Munnings, “like the French Impressionist painters, … captures the salient qualities of form while conjuring the dramatic atmosphere of light, air, and colour.” Painted at a site only a few miles from his home, “Langham Mill Pool is an extraordinary example…
