John Nash: The Cornfield
The Cornfield was painted in 1918 when John and his brother Paul returned to England after serving on the Western Front. The brothers rented a studio in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire and would paint for their own pleasure after six o’clock, when their war commissions had been completed. This beautiful English landscape captures the long shadows cast by the evening sun across a golden field of corn. After the horrors of trench warfare, this work – Nash’s first of 1918 not to feature war – stands as a powerful symbol of what was being fought for and the many sacrifices made.
Edition size limited to 500 copies.
Image size 44 × 49.6cm, paper size 60 × 65.5 cm - Please note: If you are thinking of framing this print - please wait for the print to arrive before having the frame and mount made as slight variations in sizing can occur.
