Ravillious was unarguably one of the greatest watercolourist painters of the 20th Century, best-loved for his paintings of famous English landmarks like the Westbury Horse, Beachy Head and the Long Man of Wilmington in his native Sussex. He was a chronicler of mid-century British life, whose subject matter is now seen as the epitome of traditional Englishness – a cream tea on the lawn, cricket on the green, and keeping the home fires burning through the dark days of the second world war.
To decipher Eric Ravilious's unique painting style, one must look to his background and character. Ravillious was known as an affable personality who loved dancing and japes, and was always whistling. He had an "extraordinary Pan-like charm", according to his artist friend, John Lake. Artist Edward Bawden, a lifelong friend he met at the Royal College of Art where they both trained in the 1930s, called him "the Boy" because of his youthful vigour.
