シャンティクレール
1930
Meet Chanticleer, the proudest rooster in the English countryside, captured in bold black and white by Eric Ravilious in 1930. The bird stands tall amidst stylized grass and clover, letting out a crow that seems to echo against the flat, dramatic clouds above. Ravilious brings a modernist edge to a classic rural scene, turning a simple farmyard moment into a graphic masterpiece with distinct, rhythmic lines that define the feathers and foliage. The name 'Chanticleer' famously belongs to the vain rooster in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, adding a layer of literary history to this striking limited edition print (number 10 of 20!).
