Laura and Harold Knight first visited the Malvern Hills in 1933 and moved there permanently after Laura had finished painting the Nuremberg War Trails in 1946. The Knight's lived in Malvern until Harold's death in 1961. Laura painted a striking series of panoramic landscapes of the surrounding hills in all seasons. The present work shows the sweeping view from the top of Sugarloaf Hill, just outside the town of Great Malvern, looking west towards Herefordshire. The grand house pictured is St James's Hall, the former residence of the Howard de Walden family. In 1902 the house became a girl's school known as St James's College.
Provenance
Ian MacNicol, Glasgow, where acquired by the father of the present owner in the 1950s
