Paradise Lost: Paintings of English Country Life and Landscape 1850-1914

Hardback.  In today’s hectic world, tranquillity and beauty are frequently far removed from the busy pace of reality. The modern way of life is constantly transformed by innovations in technology, and we often yearn for days that seemed simpler, far from the urban pressures of the twentieth century. Through the glorious paintings in this book, you can travel back in time to savor the beauty of the English landscape and enjoy a glimpse of rural life only a hundred or so years ago.  Condition: light spotting to top edge, otherwise very good in lightly worn dust-jacket.
