Winston Churchill (English, 1874-1965) was one of the most noteworthy leaders in modern European history, especially of the WWII era. Churchill was a politician, army officer, writer, and amateur artist who took great pleasure in painterly pastimes. He used the practice of painting to combat his own personal struggles, finding great peace and solace in creating serene images like the one currently being offered for sale.
