Julian Trevelyan, R.A.

Henley-on-Thames, Bohun Gallery, Picture Language, 23rd April- 1st June 2013, un-numbered exhibition, illustrated p.6.

Original canvas. The canvas undulates very slightly in places, but otherwise appears sound. There is some scattered craquelure in places to the work, with some small associated flecks of loss, particularly to areas in the lower third of the work. There is some light surface dirt in places. Ultraviolet light reveals some areas of fluorescence, which are thought to be in keeping with the artist's materials. The work is float mounted and presented in a painted wooden frame.

 ‘Julian constantly drew on the people and places that we visited and he set down whatever caught his eye. He had the ability to capture the essence of a place, and what he saw, thought and felt was immediately translated into prints and paintings which captured the every smell of the scenes that inspired him.’ (Mary Fedden, Private Correspondence, 1997)
