More about this artwork

""Sir John Lavery's stunning composition, "A View of Fez," painted in 1919, provides a breathtaking panorama of Fez, Morocco. This painting captures the essence of the ancient city with a brilliant play of color and light, offering viewers a scenic vista over the clustered buildings tucked amidst rolling hills. The foreground features vibrant, earth-toned strokes suggesting rugged terrain, which then blend into the densely packed, whitewashed cityscape dominating the middleground.The city is enveloped in neutral and pale hues that reflect the sunbaked clay architecture typical of the region, highlighting shifts in texture and light. The background of the painting reveals lush, verdant mountains fading into hues of purple and blue, with a snow-capped mountain peak piercing the skyline, adding a dramatic contrast to the warmer tones of the city. Lavery's brushwork skillfully interplays light and shadow, creating a lively surface that almost vibrates with the bustling energy of Fez.

Sir John Lavery was an Irish painter best known for his portraits and wartime depictions.

John Lavery was born in inner North Belfast, baptised at St Patrick's Church, Belfast and, while still a child, moved to Scotland where he attended Haldane Academy in Glasgow in the 1870s and the Académie Julian in Paris in the early 1880s. He returned to Glasgow and was associated with the Glasgow School. William Burrell, a wealthy ship owner, was a faithful patron of Scottish artists including Joseph Crawhall II, with whom Lavery studied. In 1888 he was commissioned to paint the state visit of Queen Victoria to the Glasgow International Exhibition. This launched his career as a society painter and he moved to London soon after. In 1896, William Burrell commissioned Lavery to paint a portrait of his sister Mary Burrell.
