Francis Plummer
Figure in a Lanscape

c.1980

About the Item

Oil on board, 62cm x 42cm, (70cm x 50cm framed). The picture is in good condition. Plummer trained at the Royal Academy Schools in the early 1950s, championed by Stanley Spencer and Sir Herbert Read, he was the recipient of the coveted Leverhulme Scholarship. In a mixed career which included illustration work for The National Trust, anatomical illustration for Guys Hospital and teaching, painting ran parallel to his commercial work. Plummer specialised in the medium of egg tempera, as well as oil painting, a technique little used since the frescos of the Renaissance, he often worked on a large scale, but in tremendous detail, combining Classical iconography and formal composition with visual exploration evocative of William Blake and Stanley Spencer. His principle focus is the depiction of the human form. He exhibited widely at venues including The Leicester Galleries, Leighton House Galleries and London House Galleries. Plummer’s principle focus in his output throughout his career, was the human form; primarily the nude. His work is truly original in both nature and style.
