Eric Ravilious ‘Train Landscape’ A4 Print.

Eric Ravilious, Train Landscape, watercolour, 1939.

Probably one of his most recognisable images, Train Landscape was painted while Ravilious was assembling ideas and images for a Puffin Book of Hill Figures. Whilst seemingly portraying the white horse below Bratton Castle in Wiltshire, the geology featured here is much more reminicent of the Downs in Sussex, particularly Windover Hill above Wilmington.

Printed on 350gsm Invercote card stock using high quality inks to retain the colours of the original image. The dimensions are 210 x 297 mm, or 8.3 x 11.7 inches.

Eric Ravilious (22 July 1903 – 2 September 1942) was an exceptional watercolourist, wood engraver and designer. He was born in the shadow of the Sussex Downs in the coastal town of Eastbourne, the surrounding landscape of which heavily influenced many of his best known works. His instantly recognisable style, palette and choice of subject have an almost universal appeal, a blend which has increased in popularity with the passing of time, particularly in the first two decades of the 21st century.
