EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil series by Eric Ravilious offers a rare glimpse into the dive control room of a submarine during the tumultuous years of the Second World War. The intricate details and precise lines in this artwork showcase Ravilious' skill as an artist, capturing the essence of life onboard a submarine with remarkable accuracy.
As we peer into this scene, we are transported back in time to an era filled with uncertainty and danger. The cramped quarters and complex machinery depicted in the drawing give us a sense of the challenges faced by submariners as they navigated treacherous waters in defense of their country.
Ravilious' attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition, from the gauges and levers on the control panel to the subtle shading that brings depth and dimension to each element. It is clear that he had a deep respect for those who served aboard submarines during wartime, and his art serves as a tribute to their bravery and sacrifice.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by so many during one of history's darkest chapters. It is a testament to both Ravilious' talent as an artist and his dedication to preserving the memory of those who fought for freedom against overwhelming odds.
