EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of wartime England. The pencil and watercolor technique used by artist Eric Ravilious brings to life a scene from the 1940s, transporting viewers back in time. In this artwork, we are presented with a picturesque landscape featuring a winding road leading towards an airfield. Tents can be seen scattered across the countryside, serving as temporary homes for military personnel during World War II. The presence of Spitfires parked on the airfield adds an element of excitement and urgency to the scene. Ravilious skillfully portrays the rural beauty surrounding this military setting. Lush green fields stretch out into the distance while trees line both sides of the road, providing shade and tranquility amidst turbulent times. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of camouflages on both planes and tents, highlighting their importance in concealing these vital assets from enemy eyes. This print serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice made by those who served in Royal Air Force during World War II. With its nostalgic charm and historical significance, "Road by an Airfield" offers viewers a glimpse into a pivotal period in history when ordinary landscapes were transformed into scenes filled with heroism and resilience.
