“One sweep of the palette-knife ‘lifts’ the blood and tears of a morning from the canvas and enables a fresh start to be made; indeed the canvas is all the better for past impressions ”

— WSC

“Look also at the blue of the Mediterranean. How can you depict and record it? Certainly not by any single colour that was ever manufactured. The only way in which that luminous intensity of blue can be simulated is by this multitude of tiny points of varied colour all in true relation to the rest of the scheme. Difficult? Fascinating!”

Endorsments:

Rafferty has had an incredible voyage of discovery following Sir Winston’s Great Easel across the most beautiful locations on the Riviera. This book will dazzle you like the Mediterranean.

Randolph Churchill

‘This utterly ravishing book is a true labour of love by Paul Rafferty, to whom all Churchill historians are deeply in debt. His ability to connect place to painting, and painting to personality and precise historical moment, is simply inspired.’

Andrew Roberts, Churchill Walking with Destiny

Paul Rafferty has vastly extended our knowledge of Sir Winston Churchill's favourite pastime by visiting and describing his actual Riviera venues as they are today. His expertise as fellow painter adds a special note of authenticity to this excellent book

Richard M Langworth CBE - Senior Fellow, Hillsdale College Churchill Project

“This book is a rare treat, combining beautiful presentation with meticulous new research. By walking in Churchill’s footsteps, Paul Rafferty has been able to shed new light on Sir Winston’s creative process.”

Allen Packwood CBE - Director Churchill Archive Centre

Rafferty’s book, Winston Churchill: Painting on the French Riviera revealed an inner part of the man that formal histories have trouble getting to grips with - and I’ve always believed that you can’t understand the greatness of the man without understanding who and why he was, rather than just what he did. That’s why this book is not only beautiful, it is important.
