Description: Click an Image to See it Full-size Details Payment Shipping Terms of Sale View in Room Description A truly idyllic rural scene in oil, showing a curving road with pretty thatched cottages either side under a blushing sunset. The painting is by the renowned British painter, Henry Lamb, an associate of the Bloomsbury Group. The painting captures his simplistic take on Post Impressionism wonderfully with the delicate colours speaking for themselves above the confident, simplistic brush work. The artist has signed and dated in his typical format at the lower left corner. The painting is on wood panel with a further unfinished landscape study at the reverse. Someone has contemporaneously written "Henry Lamb, Artist" in biro at the lower right corner of this side of the panel. On wood panel. Condition The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration. There is a very small hole in the panel at the lower right corner.Biography (b Adelaide, 21 June 1883; d Salisbury, 8 Oct. 1960). British painter, mainly of portraits. Under parental pressure he studied medicine, but abandoned it in 1904 to become an artist. (On the outbreak of the First World War, however, Lamb returned to his medical studies, qualifying at Guy's Hospital, London, in 1916 and then serving as a medical officer in France, Macedonia, and Palestine; he was gassed and won the Military Cross. He also worked as an Official War Artist, as he did again in the Second World War.) Lamb was associated with the Bloomsbury Group and is best known for his sensitive portraits of fellow members, painted in the restrained Post-Impressionist style that characterized his work throughout his career. Above all he is remembered for his portrait of Lytton Strachey (1914, Tate, London), in which he ‘has relished emphasizing Strachey's gaunt, ungainly figure, and the air of resigned intellectual superiority with which he surveys the world from that incredible slab-like head’ (DNB); Sir John Rothenstein described it as ‘one of the best portraits painted in England in this century’.

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan. Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers. We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love. Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods.
