{"product_id":"tiger-moth-eric-ravilious","title":"Tiger Moth - Eric Ravilious","description":"\u003cp\u003eA precise watercolour by Eric Ravilious depicting a de Havilland Tiger Moth aircraft in flight over a training airfield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEric Ravilious produced this watercolour during his tenure as an official war artist. The work depicts a de Havilland Tiger Moth, a primary trainer aircraft used by the Royal Air Force, in flight above an airfield. Ravilious employs his characteristic technique of layering translucent washes to build the atmospheric conditions of the sky and the textured surface of the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition relies on a strong sense of perspective, drawing the eye along the runway markings towards the horizon. The aircraft itself is rendered with precision, its yellow wings providing a sharp contrast to the muted, earthy tones of the surrounding environment. The repetitive, rhythmic shadows cast upon the ground demonstrate the artist's interest in geometric patterns and the structural qualities of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many depictions of military aviation that focus on combat, this piece captures the quiet, technical nature of pilot training. The artist avoids dramatic flair, opting instead for a measured observation of light and form. The work reflects the specific aesthetic of mid-twentieth-century British watercolour painting, where clarity of line and controlled colour palettes were prioritised. Ravilious was known for his ability to find order in complex subjects, and this image of the Tiger Moth is no exception. It remains a clear example of his approach to documenting the machinery of war through a lens of calm, disciplined observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/female-model-vilhelm-lundstrom-2\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFemale Model - Vilhelm Lundstrøm — Vilhelm Lundstrøm\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/manaca-tarsila-do-amaral\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eManacá - Tarsila do Amaral — Tarsila do Amaral\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eric Ravilious","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58492950675791,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58493083418959,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58493083451727,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58493083484495,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58493083517263,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58493083550031,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58493083582799,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58493083615567,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58493083648335,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58493083681103,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58493083713871,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58493083746639,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Tiger-Moth_Poster_CompositorV1_1786408032696.jpg?v=1786944824","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/tiger-moth-eric-ravilious","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
