Country Lanes & The Plain: An Exhibition of Eric Brown's Landscapes of Interwar Salisbury

Darnley Fine Art is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition for the works of unsung hero of English landscape painting: Eric Brown. This exhibition will be the first ever to display Brown’s wonderfully nostalgic rural scenes that were inspired by the rolling hills and country lanes of Salisbury and its surroundings.

As with the Salisbury-focused works of Constable and Turner, Brown’s landscapes convey a deep appreciation for the unique countryside of Salisbury and Wiltshire. His adoration is readily apparent through how he renders aspects of idyllic country life with blocky pastel colours and hazy brushstrokes that create a sense of nostalgia for the English countryside in the interwar years.

Exhibition highlights include distinctly recognisable scenes of Salisbury, such as View of Salisbury from Old Sarum and Salisbury Cathedral, but also include more universal rural views that pay homage to the pastoral, such as Sutton Mandeville Churchyard and Country Lane.

This exhibition will be held at Darnley Fine Art’s gallery in Cecil Court, located just a stone’s throw away from the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery.
