Like his brother Paul, John Nash often used natural subjects to convey his thoughts regarding the human condition, particularly during that period of introspection that followed the devastation of the War. The landscape here is peaceful and undisturbed. Nash was self-taught and became an official war artist in both the First and Second World Wars.
