Artist Biography:
Sir Stanley Spencer (1891–1959) was one of Britain’s most celebrated painters of the 20th century, renowned for his distinctive fusion of realism, spirituality, and personal narrative. Born in Cookham, England, Spencer’s work often depicted the people and landscapes of his hometown with a unique combination of intimacy, wit, and visionary intensity.
Spencer trained at the Slade School of Fine Art and became known for his religious paintings, figure studies, and landscapes, blending meticulous draftsmanship with imaginative compositions. His works are held in major collections including Tate, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Ashmolean Museum. Clasped Hands exemplifies Spencer’s mastery of line and his profound engagement with the human form
