Barn at Cherington, Gloucestershire
Sir W Rothenstein, 1935
By the 1930s, the Cotswolds were very much part of the modern tourist’s itinerary and the region is famous for its ancient mellow honey-coloured limestone villages that blend perfectly into the countryside. This late work by William Rothenstein is a painting of a large barn at Cherington and shows the artist’s Impressionist sensibility and passion for the local traditional building materials and techniques.
