Robert Tavener Signed Painting of Sussex Church
This is a fine unframed original Robert Tavener RE (1920-2004) signed ink and watercolour painting of St Mary the Virgin Church in Willingdon, near Eastbourne. It is a Norman church with its origins around 1100AD.
The watercolour is signed bottom right and though it lacks a title its identification has been confirmed by the resident priest.
Better known for his linocuts, Taverner also produced many watercolours with the South Downs landscape and historic buildings within a short drive of his home in Eastbourne providing the greatest inspiration and subject matter. Tavener's home was in an old coach house at the foot of the South Downs, and this church at Willingdon would have provided one of the closest locations for his art.
Dimensions: Paper (Image) 47.5 x 37 cm
Postage & packing: The picture can be posted to a UK address for £10 .
