HMS Glorious in the Arctic 1940

"HMS Glorious in the Arctic" is a 1940 watercolor painting by British artist Eric Ravilious. The painting depicts the British aircraft carrier HMS Glorious sailing through the Arctic Ocean with a squadron of planes flying overhead. The scene is bathed in the soft light of the setting sun, casting a hazy glow over the water and the sky. The painting is a powerful and evocative depiction of the British war effort during World War II, capturing both the beauty and the danger of the Arctic landscape. Ravilious created a number of war-related works, his death during the war was a major loss for the British art scene.
