"Since 2016, I have travelled the countryside in winter in the footsteps of painters and writers Constable, Gainsborough, Emilie Bronte, Arthur Conan Doyle, Daphne du Maurier..."French photographer Jean-Pierre Gilson is recognised as one of the leading European landscape photographers and over the past forty years, more than a hundred exhibitions have been devoted to his work.In this new book he explores the English landscapes that have influenced many of the most famous British artists and writers. Gilson has a sharp sense of composition that he deploys, with rigour and poetry.In his photographs he exploits the light, and the mist and cloud of the winter landscapes to reveal a vision of England which in many ways can appear romantic, even nostalgic, yet which is nevertheless very real and contemporary.This is a rural England that still exists – often little changed over the centuries.
