'Boating on the Yerres.' (1877) Gustave Caillebotte's family owned a country home in twenty-seven acres of land in Yerres, 18 miles southeast of Paris and as a youth, spent his summer holidays here, developing a life-long love of sailing and rowing on the nearby Yerres river.

This watercolour sketch from 1913 of a man ploughing autumn fields by George Clausen was painted at a time of great unrest in the countryside. Labouring families had been drifting to the burgeoning industrial centres for several generations, and the crisis of WW1 was a year away.

Like virtually all his contemporaries, the return to peacetime after the end of WW1 was hard for David Bomberg. Although in opposition to his pre-war practice, he experimented with working en plein air at this time; this work was most likely made near Alton in Hampshire.

The sitter in this portrait by Kyffin Williams is Karla Ludewig, the daughter of a ship captain. Kyffin met her when she was an au pair to a friend of his. He described her in interview: 'she struck me as being very paintable, and I painted her very very often.'

Van Gogh's portrait from 1882, is of Adrianus Jacobus Zuyderland, who lived at the Dutch Reformed Almshouse for Men and Women in The Hague. Adrianus was a frequent sitter and would pose for Van Gogh in return for ‘a few quarters for an afternoon or morning.'

Giacometti once quipped that only Francis Bacon had a messier studio than he did. In the early 1950s, work depicting his studio shows a jumble of sculptures, empty bottles and cigarette butts. Here, he's used a tobacco-stained palette which helps to evoke this controlled chaos.

This painting shows the area behind Stanley Spencer’s house, Fernlea, in Cookham, Berkshire. Completed after his return from service in WW1, the work is deliberately nostalgic; an elegy of sorts, his brother Sydney was killed in action in September 1918.

Norman Garstin's oil sketch of 1898 depicts his eldest son Crosbie with the family dog, 'Belcher.' Crosbie lived an extraordinary life and amongst other things became a lumberjack, a poet and a best selling novelist known for the Penhale trilogy of novels based in 18thC Cornwall

In 1934 Pavel Tchelitchew began a series of circus paintings depicting acrobats, jugglers, strong-men and other performers. His limited palette intensifies the melancholic moods of his cast of characters, who appeared to materialise from an eerie haze of gaslight.

'Bathers.' (1925) In the 1920s Christopher Wood was seen by many critics as the most promising young British artist. Together with Ben Nicholson, he looked to modern French painting for inspiration, and painted in a deliberately naïve style which was to become his trademark.
