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.

In a seemingly innocuous picture, Stanley Spencer's 'Crossing the Road,' is imbued with a subtle Christian message. Here, it is as if the young girl is a disciple, leading the old man through the streets of Cookham to the gates of St Peter, and to enter heaven itself.

Between 1945-50 he worked on his Resurrection Series. He also quit the RA as it refused to show some of his work. I really enjoy that he reimagined the biblical story with Cookham residents as the actors in the drama. It puzzled many conservatives at the time

Spencer’s genius was to populate his religious images with locals & set them in Cookham landscapes. Self-portrait (1912), Zacharias & Elizabeth (1912-3), The Artist’s Left Hand (1913) & Fragments of a Self-Portrait (1913)

Born in Cookham, Berkshire, he had an unusual upbringing & trained at the Slade (1908-12). Despite access to a London life he would go home to Cookham as much as he could. Some early drawings of Cookham life & religious ideas (1908-12)

Stanley Spencer (Cookham-on-Thames 1891 –1959) fue un pintor figurativo británico con un estilo muy personal, fácilmente identificable y que desarrolló su trabajo bajo distintas influencias. Él a su vez influenció mucho a artistas posteriores, como Lucian Freud.

Stanley Spencer 'The Apple Gatherers.' This picture was painted in Wisteria Cottage in Cookham, an empty house which Spencer used as a studio. He said it was here he experienced an intense sense of connection with nature and an almost ecstatic self-awareness.
