Buscot Park by Eric Ravilious

From a watercolour on paper, 1938. Ravilious and his wife spent a weekend at Buscot Park in June of 1938. About the house Ravilious wrote, “Faringdon was such a palatial country house, the grandest I was ever in, and the park and the lakes were lovely too – there were white peacocks and black swans and a whale’s jaw bones in the garden”. The painting allows a hint of realism – and perhaps, painted as it was in 1938, even a looming sense of what were to become catastrophic events in Europe.
