John Piper – part 3

Famous for his romantic landscapes, views of ruined churches, stately homes and castles, John Piper (1903 – 1992) is considered to be one of the most significant British artists of the 20th Century.

This is part 3 of a 3-part post on the works of John Piper. Part 3 features his 1964 series "Churches'" and his 1977 series "Victorian Dream Palaces." For biographical notes on Piper, and for earlier works, see parts 1 and 2 also.
