New Year's Snow Limited Edition Print by Eric Ravilious
The celebrated British artist Ravilious had a fascination with landscape and place and was taught by one of the best landscape painters of the era at the Royal College of Art - Paul Nash. Watercolour had fallen out of fashion as a medium in the mid-19th century but was making a comeback at this time and the works of Nash and Ravillious gained a large following. 
This watercolour and pencil work was produced in 1932. There’s a serene and restrained beauty here - in the brittle, bare trees and windswept hills. Eric Ravilious has always been known as a quintessentially English artist, and here you see why. 
 
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.
