HMS Glorious in the Arctic
Artist: Eric Ravilious
Circa: 1940
Eric Ravilious, one of Britain’s most celebrated war artists, combined modernist clarity with delicate watercolor technique. HMS Glorious in the Arctic (1940) depicts the aircraft carrier against a stark polar seascape, its presence both monumental and vulnerable amid the icy expanse. Ravilious’s wartime paintings balanced documentary precision with poetic atmosphere, offering a vision of the Royal Navy that is as much about endurance and isolation as it is about power.
