In the fields in June

CLAUSEN, George (Clausen was born in London to George Clausen Senior, a decorative painter of Danish descent. He attended the Royal College of Art and South Kensington art schools, then the Académie Julian in Paris. He was a founding member of the New English Art Club and was elected Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy in 1904. He was knighted in 1927.)

Born and trained in London, Clausen specialised in scenes of rural life and was preoccupied with the effects of light. Sketches reveal that he originally intended to portray six or seven labourers in this unusually large canvas. The subject matter recalls Millet, but the extensive sky is reminiscent of recent Dutch paintings of the Hague School.
