'Cranes at Bankside,' (1946) was one of 19 paintings John Minton made based on the quays and wharves around Southwark and Bankside which earnt him the title of 'urban romantic.' The critic Michael Middleton said Minton created: 'richness without the loss of poetic intensity.'

'Shepherds at Night,' dates from John Craxton's 1948 visit to Greece when he trekked into the White Mountains to meet and depict resistance veterans. In this picture, two shepherds have lit a fire at the mouth of a cave, where their flock of goats has been herded for the night.

'Poem, Strange November.' (1953) Alan Reynolds's romantic landscapes of the 1950s perhaps owe more to Samuel Palmer's Kent than to the flat Constable country of his native Suffolk. The spiky botany of the foregrounds carried a faintly menacing air generic to much 1950s art.

'Boys Fishing.' (1940) William Roberts can be seen as the urban, secular form of Stanley Spencer. His style changed little over the years, favouring solid but friendly figures, and positive, celebratory images of everyday life.

This late watercolour by Paul Nash was drawn in the early 1940’s, at a time when Nash seems to have preferred watercolour to oil for his landscapes. From 1938 his pictures become increasingly relaxed, he worked more in terms of tonal gradation and intensity of colour.
