William Nicholson lived at Harlech in North Wales towards the end of the First World War. This view looks across Tremadoc Bay to the mountains on the Lleyn Peninsula; Nicholson painted the view by moonlight after rain.

'Breakfast.' (1940) Léon de Smet painted interiors, still lifes, things on tables, and in cupboards. He painted his family, and when they refused to pose for his work, he made pictures of their absence.

Like his friend Paul Nash who he met at the Slade, Claughton Pellew believed trees held a spiritual quality. This work from 1924 likely features his wife Emma (also an artist) walking near their home at Southrepps, North Norfolk.

'Bursting Shell.' (1918) One of the most powerful of Christopher Nevinson's WW1 paintings. The detonated shell carries earth and shrapnel upwards and outwards; the centre of the blast with its shooting flames simulates the disorientating sensory experience of an explosion.

William Rothenstein painted 'The Old Gardener,' during the 1930s while at Far Oakridge, his home in Gloucestershire. In his memoirs he described the idyll which existed in the Cotswolds between the wars and made a commitment to painting local people as a record of social history

In 1930, Richard Carline sailed to Venezuela with his brother Sydney and the artist, John Duguid, in one of the last of the great square-rigged ships, the Grace Harwar. This work was first sketched and then painted from the ship's foremast in the Mid-Atlantic.

'Sunset,' (1893) probably shows a view over the Lake Pielinen near Koli in eastern Finland. The leading artistic personalities of Eero Järnefelt's generation, from Jean Sibelius to Akseli Gallen-Kallela, regarded Karelia as a lost paradise.

‘The Shadow’ 2015. Arles towards end of Summer. In a quiet alley to escape the noise found in all tourist places these days and felt at home here where I could weave a story around the man ahead and the woman pulling aside a curtain to peer out.

'Singer Building at Night.' (c1910) Charles Vezin worked at a dry-goods firm for the first part of his career then began painting, dedicating himself to art for the remainder of his life. He's known for his Impressionistic scenes of the New York skyline, such as this work.

Piet Mondriaan began his artistic training like most artists - attempting to capture the natural world in its most accurate and precise form. Trained in the classical technique, he graduated from Amsterdam's Royal Academy of Visual Arts in 1897, the year this work was painted.

‘Regent’s Canal, Stepney’ 2002-17. By the time I was satisfied with this painting, the corrugated fences had been replaced and the tow path was teeming with joggers and cyclists. Railway bridge still rules ok though!
