Early Life and Background: Clive Madgwick was born in 1934 in London, England. Before fully dedicating himself to art, Madgwick had a successful career as a dentist. He practiced dentistry for many years, but his passion for painting eventually led him to become a full-time artist. Madgwick's style is characterized by a high degree of realism, with a focus on light, color, and texture. He often painted en plein air (outdoors) to capture the true essence of his subjects, which included the English countryside, coastal scenes, and village life. His works frequently featured serene, idyllic settings with a timeless quality, reminiscent of the 19th-century English landscape tradition. His paintings often feature picturesque scenes of thatched cottages, rivers, woodlands, and rural pathways. He also painted cityscapes and scenes from across Europe, but his most well-known works are those that reflect the quiet beauty of the English landscape. Madgwick exhibited his work extensively throughout his career, and his paintings were well-received by collectors and the general public. He was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA), a testament to his skill and reputation as an artist. Madgwick's work is still popular today, and his paintings are often found in galleries, auctions, and private collections. His ability to capture the serene and picturesque elements of the British countryside has made his work enduringly popular among collectors of traditional British art. Clive Madgwick is remembered for his dedication to capturing the beauty of the British landscape with a sense of nostalgia and realism, making his works beloved by those who appreciate traditional, serene depictions of rural life.

Chickens in a Coop Large Modernist Signed European Painting, framed
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Chickens by Maria Tort Xirau (Catalan, 1924-2018) signed lower corner dated 1989 oil painting on canvas, framed framed: 24 x 34 inches canvas: 19 x 28 inches Very good condition. Provenance: private collection Maria Tort Xirau ( Figueres , 26 May 1924 – 6 June 2018) was a painter and photographic and cinematographic editor from Emporda. She developed a long professional career in leading photographic studios, in films for The Walt Disney Company and also in advertising claims for companies such as Educa Borràs . The second half of her life was dedicated to painting, exercising a luminous, varied and nostalgic chromatic style in the techniques of oil and watercolor and with exhibitions of her work in Barcelona and Figueres. The Biographical Dictionary of Art Empordà defined Tort Xirau's work as "a painting that is characterized by the strength of the strokes, the vividness and brightness of the chromatic range and exudes mastery of the photographic technique. A mixture of nostalgia and tenderness is evident.". Tort Xirau's paintings were exhibited in the two towns where she spent her life: in 1992 she exhibited his work at the Caixa de Figueres Exhibition Hall. Two years later, she did it at Sala Conex in Barcelona and in 2007 and 2013 the Consortium of Sant Ferran Castle and the Figueres Town Council organized tribute exhibitions. In 2013, she ceded to the council of the city of Figueres her work Mercat de la plaça de l'Ajuntament , watercolored on paper around 1991, which is exhibited in the rest room of the building. On June 6, 2018, she died in Figueres at the age of 94, receiving the apostolic blessing . Two years after her death, part of her paintings were included in the exhibition Paint, create, live. Women artists in the Alt...
