The Walter Richard Sickert Classic Painting Revealed! - Video

I travelled to see L'Oeillade by Walter Richard Sickert at the Cambridge Fitzwilliam Museum in England. Come join me there too. Welcome to Art, Culture & Travel with me, Anthony King.

Walter Richard Sickert was born in 1860 and painted this oil on canvas in 1911. The museum tell us: "This painting is part of a series known as The Camden Town Nudes. Their claustrophobic feel and bleak realism responded to what Sickert regarded as the dully artificial traditional nude. For centuries, the genre traded in spectacular visions of the female body designed for a male spectator. Sickert, however, places his model in a squalid room under unflattering light to create a fraught, sinister atmosphere. The effect is to unsettle the viewer, and to suggest our own power and complicity within the sordid world the work represents".
