סר וינסטון צ'רצ'יל (1874-1965)

 
Uniquely among Winston Churchill’s known work, “Coastal Town on the Riviera” is in fact a double painting with the landscape on one side and an oil sketch on the other. The portrait sketch bears some resemblance to Viscountess Castlerosse who was a frequent guest in the same Rivera estates where Churchill visited. Churchill painted her in C 517 and C 518 and gives us a larger picture of the people who inhabited his world. <br><br>Of his approximately 550 works, the largest portion (about 150) were of the South of France, where Churchill could indulge in both the array of colors to apply to his canvas and in gambling, given the proximity of Monte Carlo.

באופן ייחודי בין עבודותיו הידועות של וינסטון צ'רצ'יל, "עיירת חוף בריביירה" הוא למעשה ציור כפול עם הנוף מצד אחד ורישום שמן מצד שני. שרטוט הדיוקן מזכיר במידת מה את הוויקונט קאסלרוס, שהיה אורח קבוע באותן אחוזות ריברה שבהן ביקר צ'רצ'יל. צ'רצ'יל צייר אותה ב-C 517 וב-C 518 ונותן לנו תמונה רחבה יותר של האנשים שאכלסו את עולמו.

מתוך כ-550 יצירותיו, החלק הגדול ביותר (כ-150) היה מדרום צרפת, שם יכול היה צ'רצ'יל להתמכר הן למגוון הצבעים שיש להחיל על הבד שלו והן בהימורים, בהתחשב בקרבתו למונטה קרלו.
