SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL (1874-1965)

 
Painted while staying at Dunrobin Castle, the estate of the Duke of Sutherland, Churchill chose to set his easel behind a tree where he likely thought of it as a framing device, adding a layer of depth, creating a stronger sense of foreground, middle ground, and background, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the picture. Churchill painted at both Dunrobin as well as the Duke’s Sutton Place estate, later the home of John Paul Getty.<br><br>As Mary Soames describes it in her book, Winston Churchill, His Life as a Painter, “1921 had been a year of heavy personal tidings” for Churchill and his family, as he lost both his mother, Jennie Cornwallis-West, and his beloved child, Marigold, aged nearly four.  In a letter to his wife Clementine, Churchill wrote, “… Many tender thoughts, my darling one of you and yr sweet kittens.  Alas I keep on feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly [Marigold’s pet name].”  That Churchill chose to stay with the Duke and Duchess at Dunrobin just after Marigold’s death speaks to their close friendship and his fondness for the area, including Loch Choire.

这幅画是丘吉尔在萨瑟兰公爵的庄园邓洛宾城堡逗留期间绘制的,他选择将画架架在一棵树后,因为他可能认为这棵树是一种取景装置,可以增加一层深度,使前景、中景和背景的感觉更加强烈,增强了画面的立体感。丘吉尔曾在邓洛宾和公爵的萨顿庄园(后来成为约翰-保罗-盖蒂的故居)作画。

正如玛丽-索姆斯在《温斯顿-丘吉尔,他作为画家的一生》一书中所描述的,"1921 年对丘吉尔及其家人来说是沉重的一年",因为他失去了母亲詹妮-康沃利斯-韦斯特和年近四岁的爱子玛丽戈德。 丘吉尔在给妻子克莱门汀的信中写道:"......亲爱的,我对你和你可爱的小猫充满了温柔的思念。 唉,我一直感受着 Duckadilly(玛丽戈德的宠物名)的伤害"。 丘吉尔在玛丽戈德去世后选择与公爵和公爵夫人一起住在邓洛宾,这说明了他们之间的深厚友谊以及他对该地区(包括卓尔湖)的喜爱。丘吉尔将这幅画赠送给萨瑟兰公爵也就不足为奇了。
