Chiswick House

Roger Fry 1866 - 1934

Summary

View of Palladian style Chiswick House, London, seen through trees in a garden, with two stone plinths in the foreground, one of which is topped with a classical vase. This painting is done in the artist's simplistic style, preferring to depict essential colour and form rather than embellishment and detail. The painting features patches of colour in naturalistic tones, avoiding fine detail. It appears to be a dusk scene because the sky is dark blue and long shadows are being cast across the landscape.
