Towton 1461, England's Bloodiest Battle, by Christopher Gravett

On a bitterly cold Palm Sunday, 29th March 1461, the army of King Edward IV met that of his Lancastrian enemies on a snow-covered battlefield south of the village of Towton in Yorkshire.  The struggle lasted all day in the longest and bloodiest battle of the Wars of the Roses.  With the arrival of Yorkist reinforcements under the Duke of Norfolk, the Lancastrian line eventually broke and their troops fled, many being caught and slaughtered in the death trap known as 'Bloody Meadow'.  This book examines the campaign that marked the resurgence of the Yorkist cause and established King Edward IV as king.

Bosworth 1485, Last Charge of the Plantagenets by Christopher Gravett

On 22 August 1485 a king and a challenger for the throne faced each other on a battlefield for the first time in the Wars of the Roses, at stake was the throne itself. The Battle of Bosworth is therefore one of the most important battles in English history as it effectively put an end to the dynastic struggle of the Wars of the Roses and placed the Tudor house on the throne of England. Since his death in battle against Henry Tudor, argument has raged around the central figure to the story, the controversial King Richard III. Shakespeare's image of a twisted and tortured king remains influential despite years of academic study, whilst the mystery of the Princes in the tower still retains its potency. Christopher Gravett cuts through this myth and propaganda to detail the course of this pivotal campaign that decided the fate of a dynasty.

ARTIST
Featured Artist - Ivan Berryman



Art and aviation have been like a brother and sister to me. We have grown up together, learned together and made our adult lives together. But you do not have to have an appreciation of aircraft to admire the graceful lines of a Spitfire or the functional simplicity of a Focke-Wulf 190. They are themselves a work of art and they cry out to be painted - not as machines of war and destruction, but as objects of beauty, born of necessity and function, yet given a life and iconic classicism beyond their original calling. My interest and love of art and aircraft was gifted to me by my father, a designer and aeronautical engineer of considerable repute. Denis Berryman C.Eng. FRAeS. He gave me his eyes, his passion, his dedication and his unwavering professionalism. I owe him everything. And I miss him terribly. A love of art and of beautiful and interesting things takes you on a journey. You discover new interests, new fascinations, and you want to paint them. You want to paint them in their environment, in their element. Whether it is an aeroplane, a warship, a racing car or a beautiful woman, their gift to an artist is the same: Their lines, their texture and the way that light and shadows give them form. These are the food and oxygen of an artist. Not the paint and the canvas. These are mere tools. The secret is in the passion and the perception...

New Dambusters Paintings, Prints and Drawings!



A brand new series of releases featuring the aircraft and airmen of the Dambusters Raid.

This superb new collection of aviation art shows may of the famous events of the raids, but also shows some of the lesser known aircraft and details - the bomber that was so low that the tallboy bomb was ripped from the aircraft by a high wave (above), or the below treetop route to the target taken by one of the bombers, or the trains that were shot up by the gunners of the Lancasters on their way to the dams.
