Note du spécialiste
‘I have driven locomotives a lot in many parts of the world ... I think to paint engines, one has really got to drive them ... by driving the thing and realising that your puny hands can control this monster … the mere fact of being saturated with this thought makes you paint them correctly, makes you paint their weight and their power’.
- Terence Cuneo (in an interview with James Mellen, IWM Oral History, 1978, Cat no. 3817, Reel 4, 02:48-03:40)
Terence Cuneo is probably best known for his railway paintings. In the mid-1920s Cuneo had his first experience of driving a steam-engine – a day which left a lasting imprint on his mind and stirred a passion to last him a lifetime. The present work depicts the steam locomotive Castle Class locomotive, No. 50.
