Artist Biography:
Sir Stanley Spencer RA (1891–1959) was one of the leading figures in 20th-century British art. Trained at the Slade School of Fine Art, he is known for his detailed figurative works that often combined scenes of daily life with biblical subjects. Spencer lived and worked primarily in Cookham, Berkshire, a village that became central to his artistic vision. His works are held in major public collections, including Tate Britain, the National Gallery (London), the Fitzwilliam Museum (Cambridge), and the Stanley Spencer Gallery (Cookham).
