SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL (1874-1965)

 
<div>Painted from an unusually high vantage, “Riviera Coast Scene” vividly conveys the formidable distance and breadth of the scene from the perch where he set his easel.  Interestingly, Paul Rafferty did not include this painting in his book Winston Churchill: Painting on the French Riviera, believing it could likely be a scene from the Italian Lake District, where Churchill also painted in the same time period.  Paintings by Churchill can function as a glimpse into his extensive travels and his colorful life. Churchill most likely painted “Riviera Coast Scene” during a holiday at Chateau de l’Horizon, home of Maxine Elliot, a friend of his mother. Elliot, originally from Rockland, Maine, was a successful actress and socialite.  Within this painting, we see the influence of the Impressionists who utilized unusual viewpoints, modeled after Japanese woodblock prints, but also evidence of their attempts to push the boundaries of the landscape genre.</div> <div>Painted from an unusually high vantage, “Riviera Coast Scene” vividly conveys the formidable distance and breadth of the scene from the perch where he set his easel.  Interestingly, Paul Rafferty did not include this painting in his book Winston Churchill: Painting on the French Riviera, believing it could likely be a scene from the Italian Lake District, where Churchill also painted in the same time period.  Paintings by Churchill can function as a glimpse into his extensive travels and his colorful life.

里维埃拉海岸风光》从一个不同寻常的制高点绘制而成,生动地传达了从他架起画架的高处俯瞰整个场景的巨大距离和广度。 有趣的是,保罗-拉弗蒂(Paul Rafferty)并没有将这幅画收录到他的《温斯顿-丘吉尔》一书中:在法国里维埃拉的绘画》一书中,保罗-拉弗蒂没有收录这幅画,他认为这可能是丘吉尔同一时期在意大利湖区创作的场景。 从丘吉尔的画作中可以窥见他广泛的旅行经历和丰富多彩的生活。丘吉尔很可能是在其母亲的朋友玛克辛-埃利奥特(Maxine Elliot)位于地平线城堡(Chateau de l'Horizon)的家中度假时绘制《里维埃拉海岸风光》的。埃利奥特来自缅因州罗克兰,是一位成功的女演员和社交名媛。 在这幅画中,我们可以看到印象派画家的影响,他们以日本木版画为蓝本,采用了不同寻常的视角,同时也证明了他们试图突破风景画流派的界限。
