Furlongs Watercolour on paper, 1935 Furlongs was the Sussex home of artist Peggy Angus and became an important source of inspiration for Eric Ravilious throughout the 1930s. He was captivated by the expansive views across the Downs, stretching from Mount Caburn, just outside Lewes, eastwards towards Firle Beacon. The openness of the landscape and the vast Sussex skies had a profound effect on Ravilious. As his biographer Helen Binyon wrote, when he visited Furlongs, he felt “he had come to his own country.” This stretch of the South Downs inspired many of Ravilious’s most distinctive landscape paintings, reflecting his enduring fascination with the landscape, light and atmosphere of Sussex.
