Peter Newcombe
Country Lane, Modern British 20th Century Watercolour Landscape

1973

About the Item

Watercolour on paper, signed and dated '1973' bottom left Image size: 12 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches (32 x 24 cm) Contemporary frame This is a wonderful watercolour of a winter landscape, with a country lane, frost-covered fields and an old farm building. As the artist has worked in his home county for much of his life, this is likely to be a view in rural Northamptonshire. Peter Newcombe Newcombe (b.1943) was born in Blisworth, Northamptonshire. He studied illustration and etching at Northampton School of Art, where he won a travelling scholarship. His work first came to public attention in 1968 with a set of twelve large drawings illustrating ‘The Shepherds Calendar’ by John Clare, which were featured on BBC television. In 1970 he was awarded a major art grant from the Elizabeth T. Greenshield Foundation in Canada. At this time he began exhibiting widely in London including at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour. In 1979 he designed a set of flower stamps for the Post Office. The subject matter of Peter Newcombe’s paintings is gathered almost entirely from the area of Northamptonshire in which he lives. His paintings are intense studies of landscape and flora in all seasons, and he has a particular interest in old buildings and wild flowers.

    Located in London, GB
    Watercolour on paper, signed and dated 'Sept '60' bottom right Image size: 26 x 19 inches (66 x 48 cm) Handmade frame In this painting, Banks has managed to effectively convey the scorching heat of a Mediterranean summer. It is likely that this work depicts a town in Italy, a country where Banks spent a considerable amount of time travelling. His paintings of this country almost exclusively focused on sections of it's architecture. This unwavering focus of subject reflects Bank's passion for architectural forms that was also put into good practice through his position as a town planner. Robert Louis Banks Banks was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. An architect and artist, Banks studied at the Architectural Association  between 1928 and 1933. Following military service in the Second World War, during which he was awarded the Military Cross...
