Description
Painted in 1966, Furnas, Azores captures Sir Cedric Morris's enduring fascination with landscape and the natural world. Inspired by the volcanic beauty of the Azores, the composition reflects Morris's remarkable ability to distil the character of a place through rich colour, expressive brushwork and a sensitive understanding of light and atmosphere.
A celebrated painter, plantsman and co-founder of the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing, Morris travelled extensively throughout Europe and beyond, drawing inspiration from the diverse landscapes he encountered. His paintings are distinguished by their lyrical quality and direct observation, balancing structured composition with a spontaneous, painterly touch.
Executed in oil on canvas and presented in its original frame, Furnas, Azores is a significant late-career work that exemplifies Morris's mastery of landscape painting. Combining the dramatic scenery of the Azores with his unmistakable modern British style, the painting is a highly collectable example by one of the twentieth century's most respected artists.
