Winston Churchill
Churchill was most fond of oils, for their forgiving, flexible nature and bright colors – as well as the joy they exuded. “Just to paint is great fun,” he wrote. “The colours are lovely to look at and delicious to squeeze out.” He was known to set up his easel outdoors to capture the grounds of his country home in Kent, called Chartwell (presently owned by the National Trust and open to visitors today, it still houses Churchill’s preserved painting studio). The ‘politician-painter’ would also work during his travels to Egypt, Italy, Morocco, and the south of France, among other locations. PROVENANCE: Private collection (Manchester, UK).
