Diana Neale b. 1949
Framed: H. 33 cm. x W. 34 cm.
In this remarkable oil painting, Diana Neale channels the lineage of great British landscape painters who have immortalised these ancient Wessex downs. However, Neale's work goes beyond mere representation. Her dreamy surfaces, created through experimental layering of oil, cold wax, marble dust, and raw pigment, produce textures that echo the Pre-Raphaelite intensity of John William Inchbold's In Early Spring or John Brett's geological precision. Her technique reflects what Ruskin praised in Inchbold: "an astonishing balance of detail and atmosphere," but transformed through contemporary alchemy into something altogether more mysterious.
