About the Item
Francis Hewlett RWA (British, 1930 – 2012)
A Welsh Idyll
Signed and titles ‘Francis Hewless RWA, Welsh Idyll’ (on the stretcher)
Oil on canvas
24 x 30 in. (61.3 x 76 cm.)
Francis Hewlett’s A Welsh Idyll unites figure and landscape in a lyrical evocation of place. The central figure, set within a pastoral Welsh setting, imbues the composition with both narrative and allegorical resonance. Hewlett’s bold brushwork and vibrant palette heighten the sense of atmosphere, while his sensitive rendering of form reflects his grounding in both observation and abstraction.
Born in Bristol in 1930, Francis Hewlett studied at the Slade School of Fine Art under William Coldstream and Claude Rogers, before embarking on a distinguished career as an artist and educator. A member of the Royal West of England Academy (RWA), Hewlett became a central figure in the West Country art world, exhibiting widely and contributing significantly to the region’s cultural life.
His paintings often explored the relationship between people and their environments, fusing modernist influences with a deeply personal sense of place. A Welsh Idyll is a strong example of this vision, capturing the harmony between human presence and landscape in a work of poetic depth.
