Win your own masterpiece
We’re offering the chance to win a framed copy of ‘View of St
Helier, 1833’ by Philip Hutchings Rogers.
Philip Rogers was one of the many Victorian artists who visited
Jersey, attracted by the unspoilt countryside and dramatic
scenery.
The Victorian period was one of increased industrialisation and
urban growth. As a reaction to this, artists often idealised the
countryside in their paintings. They painted rural landscapes full
of sentimentality which appealed to the taste of the day. In this
painting, sunlight shines on the two figures in the foreground as
they spin and knit. The Jersey cow did not develop as a breed until
after this painting was made, so here the cows are painted in
a variety of colours, as they would have looked at the time.
For your chance to win simply answer the following
question:
How many animals are there in the painting?
