- Original oil painting on board, depicting Sheep in a lush green rolling landscape, this bright and vibrant colourful painting was created in 1990, is entitled 'The Green Hills', and is by the renowned, self-taught Polish artist Jerzy Marek (1925–2014).Jerzy Marek was born in Grudziądz, Poland, and displayed artistic ability from an early age, but the development of these skills were put on hold at the outbreak of World War II. He served with the British Army towards the end of the War and then settled in the UK in 1948, where he worked as a civil engineer. He painted in his spare time and, upon his retirement in the early 1980s, began to paint full time. His work initially featured sporting themes, then pastoral themes which gave way to close-ups of animals and birds, all painted from memory. His work has been exhibited in galleries worldwide, is referenced in the Rona Guide to the World of Naïve Art and Muller’s World Encyclopedia of Naive Art, and has been reproduced widely as prints and postcards.- Signed by the artist lower right- Signed and inscribed by the artist, with the title and date, verso- Short biography and artist's personal hand written label verso- Framed and ready to hang, in its original moulded gilt frame, with moulded painted slip- Painting size 25cm x 20cm (approx. 9 3/4 inches x 7 7/8 inches)- Frame size 34.5cm x 30cm (approx. 13 1/2 inches x 11 3/4 inches)- The frame has some very minor rubbing, otherwise both painting and frame are in excellent condition- Excellent investment- Would make an original gift- All paintings are carefully packaged to prevent damage during shipping- Please contact us for European and Worldwide shipping prices- If you have any questions or queries, please contact us and we will respond within an hour
