Julian Trevelyan (1910-1988)
Cretan Windmills (1964)
Oil on canvas 61 x 77 cm Peasants and a donkey, followed by a cow and goat, travel along the Cretan shore. Windmills dominate the shoreline - Julian Trevelyan was markedly inspired by the windmills he saw while visiting Crete in the 1960s. The composition is substantially made up of triangular forms; the inverted floating pyramid hovers above the flashing blades of the windmills. Combined with the man, woman, and donkey in the foreground, the pyramid detail suggests Mary and Joseph’s Flight into Egypt. Click here for biographical details and other works by the artist.

John Piper C.H. (1903-1992)
Garn Fawr
Watercolour and gouache on paper; executed 1969 37 x 54 cm Titled and dated lower left ‘Garn Fawr 12 VIII 69′; signed lower right. It was Piper's wife, Myfanwy - whom he met whilst she lived in London with her Welsh family - who first introduced Piper to West Wales in the 1930s. The Pembrokeshire landscape became his muse, as it also did for Graham Sutherland, another great neo-romantic painter. Having lived in various parts of Wales during the post-war period, the Pipers bought a cottage by Garn Fawr, on the Pembrokeshire Coas, in 1962. The volcanic outcrop was the site of an Iron Age hill fort, and had also been used as a high-viewpoint during the First World War. Piper started out as a mostly abstract artist, but by the 1960s he had moved more towards realism, often focusing on depicting architecture. Here, Piper paints the wet Welsh countryside. Each of the fields is complete with its own crop; the different plants and flowers are designated by characteristic splashes of dark colour.
