‘Field of Flax’ Print By Stanley Spencer

Giclée print reproduction of ‘Field of Flax’. Oil on canvas.

Limited Edition (1/950) on 310gsm thick, 100% cotton rag. Hand-numbered and hand-embossed. Flax is another name for linseed. It is one of the oldest of cultivars. Sometimes known as the ‘fibre of civilisation’ because of its many uses. Its seeds are made into linseed oil and its fibres into linen. But whilst Spencer may have these uses in mind, he here celebrates the delicate beauty of the plant, its luminescent properties contrasting with the bright red of the field poppies; its undulating covering of the entire enchanting field.
