Mosquitos at Dusk by Nicholas Trudgian
35 3/8" wide x 28 7/8" high
A NEW LIMITED EDITION BY NICOLAS TRUDGIAN Nicolas Trudgian’s new limited edition pays tribute to the most versatile aircraft of World War Two and the valiant crews that took them into battle.
Nicolas Trudgian’s new painting, Mosquitos at Dusk, conveys in an instant all the attributes of this outstanding attack aircraft With their twin Merlins singing at full power, Mk FBV1 Mosquitos of 464 Squadron RAAF present a menacing picture as they set out on a precision low level mission, their streamlined, shark-like shapes silhouetted against the evening glow. Below, the tranquillity of a snow covered English coastal village is briefly disturbed as the Mosquito crews head into the night. A painting worthy of this much acclaimed World War II plane.
