Robert Pereira Hind's artwork Rhododendron Ponticum II uses a variety of media to turn the common rhododendron into a shimmering depiction of sublime nature, set against a gold leaf background. In the same spirit, artist Marianne Nix turns a pathway in London’s Hampstead Heath into a glowing study of sunlight on trees in Lime Avenue Hampstead III 2017.

Their group was a reaction against the avant-garde styles that were emerging in the aftermath of war. Instead these painters wanted to reinforce the importance of traditional painting techniques.
