About the artist

The British painter, Richard Ernst Eurich (1903–1992), had a distinguished career as a war artist for the Admiralty during World War II. He was celebrated for his vivid seascapes and storytelling through art. Despite the common trends in twentieth-century art, Eurich's work was often bathed in wonder and mystery, setting him apart from his contemporaries.

Born and raised in Bradford, Eurich's artistic journey took him to the Slade School in London. His tutors noted his tendency to draw inspiration from contemporary painters, commenting, 'This student is being influenced by painters who have not been long enough dead to be respectable.' Yet, during his career, Eurich became widely recognised as a rather traditional artist. His work frequently showcased atmospheric landscapes and evocative beach scenes, often imbued with an eerie sense of fantasy.

Eurich's adeptness at designing expansive panoramas factored significantly in his notable contributions to the War Artists Advisory Committee. His overhead view of the Withdrawal from Dunkirk, 1940, displayed in the National Maritime Museum, London, is particularly striking. Despite initial censorship by the War Artists Advisory Committee, his heart-wrenching piece, Survivors from a Torpedoed Ship, 1942, gained the admiration of Winston Churchill, who even used it as an illustration in a book. The painting, now housed in the Tate, depicts two sailors clinging to an overturned boat, their desperate situation contrasted by the freedom of a seagull perched nonchalantly on the wreckage, free to take flight whenever it wishes.
