Eric Ravilious, an artist often celebrated as quintessentially ‘English,’ captures the essence of the English landscape in this rare gem. Now, defining what it means to be ‘English’ can be as tricky as navigating a holly-hedged lane, but Ravilious seems to have distilled it beautifully onto paper.

Here’s what strikes me about this painting:

Landscape: England’s countryside, crisscrossed by deep lanes, is a character in itself. These winding paths lead us through hedges, over hills, and across fields. Ravilious’s brushstrokes evoke the very essence of these landscapes—their quiet beauty and hidden stories.
Colours: Our English palette isn’t all vibrant sunsets and azure skies. Instead, it’s a mix of browns, greys, and muted tones. These colours tell tales of misty mornings, overcast afternoons, and the ever-changing weather that defines our island.
Exceptional: Ravilious’s work stands out. It’s like finding a rare wildflower in a meadow—a moment frozen in time. The way he captures light and shadow, the delicate balance between detail and suggestion—it’s pure magic.
