Oil paint is lauded for its versatility and as such has been the primary medium used throughout the history of art. Its popularity in Europe dates from around the 12th century where it progressed from egg tempera and wooden panels to oils and canvas. The history of painting on canvas is filled with innumerable innovations which is why it is as popular today as it has ever been.

Size - 16" x 22" (41cm x 56cm)

Verso – Two old labels from different periods with different reference numbers that mention The Fine Art Society. The older label is not particularly legible but shows Ref No: 29051. The second label states “The Fine Art Society, no: 3269, date January 1969. Pastoral. Sir Alfred East RA”
