Elizabeth Riding
“Eggo’s van hoop en vrees”7 to 28 June 2025
Elizabeth Riding is much acclaimed and sought-after for her strikingly beautiful imitations of Renaissance- and mostly 18th century master pieces. Also, for her captivating portrait studies painted in classic styles and cloaked in old fashioned garb. Her work transcends mere photo-realism and gently reflects the depths of the human personality which is hidden behind the facial image. Her knowledge of painting techniques over the ages, of colouring and tone values is unsurpassed. Riding’s works are not mere recreations of famous art works but are much more in the nature of a celebration of the glorious painting traditions of the past.
A closer look at her works reveals a much deeper and ever-abiding passion, which is to explore the wondrous possibilities of the act of painting. Past master pieces are studied in minute detail to detect how colouring, tone values and shadings are used to create visions of grace and beauty.
