“The Icknield Way” by Spencer Frederick Gore

• Original Medium: Oil on canvas

Description: “The Icknield Way” is a captivating painting that takes us along an ancient trackway from Norfolk to Wiltshire. This historic route winds along the escarpment, traversing the Berkshire Downs and the Chiltern Hills. As we gaze upon the canvas, we encounter the assimilated hallmarks of Spencer Frederick Gore’s experiences in France.

Gore was influenced by the works of two prominent artists: Paul Gauguin and Paul Cézanne. Their impact is evident in his use of strong colors and thickly applied paint. The emphasis on geometric and occasionally distorted forms further enriches the composition.

The painting exudes warmth through its vibrant colors, which are reflected both in the sky and the receding fields. It’s no wonder that “The Icknield Way” is considered among the best of Gore’s oeuvre.
