SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL (1874-1965)

 
Located on the French Riviera between Nice and Monte Carlo, the Bay of Eze is renowned for its stunning location and spectacular views. As you can see on pages 80-81 of Rafferty's book, this painting skillfully captures the dizzying heights, set just west of Lou Sueil, the home of Jacques and Consuelo Balsan, close friends of Winston and Clementine.<br> <br>The painting manipulates perspective and depth, a nod to the dramatic shifts of artists including Monet and Cézanne, who challenged traditional vantage points of landscapes. The portrait (i.e. vertical) orientation of the canvas combined with the trees, and the rhyming coastline channels the viewer’s gaze. The perceived tilting of the water's plane imbues the painting with dynamic tension.

Die Bucht von Eze an der Côte d'Azur, zwischen Nizza und Monte Carlo gelegen, ist bekannt für ihre atemberaubende Lage und ihre spektakulären Aussichten. Wie Sie auf den Seiten 80-81 von Raffertys Buch sehen können, fängt dieses Gemälde die schwindelerregende Höhe westlich von Lou Sueil, dem Haus von Jacques und Consuelo Balsan, engen Freunden von Winston und Clementine, gekonnt ein.

Das Gemälde manipuliert Perspektive und Tiefe, eine Anspielung auf die dramatischen Veränderungen von Künstlern wie Monet und Cézanne, die traditionelle Blickwinkel von Landschaften in Frage stellten. Die hochformatige (d. h. vertikale) Ausrichtung der Leinwand in Kombination mit den Bäumen und der sich reimenden Küstenlinie lenkt den Blick des Betrachters. Die wahrgenommene Neigung der Wasseroberfläche verleiht dem Gemälde eine dynamische Spannung.
