Train Landscape - Eric Ravilious (1939) watercolour (cdn2.oceansbridge.com)
‘Look at the detail in this painting: the upholstery so carefully and sensitively realised; the window strap that is clearly made of leather and not some artificial material; the window fittings and the striped draught strips. The interior of the railway compartment is so beautifully drawn, with such clarity, that it is not...

St Paul's and Ludgate Hill - William Logsdail (1887) (visualelsewhere.files.wordpress.com)
Logsdail didn’t fit in a camp of his time. He painted en plain air like the Impressionists, but was dedicated to picture-perfect renderings, something that was possible because of emerging technologies of the industrial age. It’s so precise I would guess it was projection-aided, but I’m not sure if that was available at...

Identitychrist - Joseph Lee (2018) (www.minus37.com)
It was at the age of 25 when Joseph’s love for the craft blossomed. As a creative and struggling actor in Los Angeles, he found art as a way to express himself freely. Painting became his way of being creative in a buzzing city and being grounded and mentally refreshed. After a year of trial and error and honing his technical...

Bridges across the Seine at Asnieres - Vincent van Gogh (1887) (upload.wikimedia.org)
Here we can see van Gogh’s style point at something to come later - cubism. Typically his style is longer strokes, ie Starry Night, to convey motion or movement of light. Here however his strokes are short - almost to pointillism, but this predates cubism by nearly 20 years.
