La romantica Belle Époque di Peregrine Heathcote, 1973

Peregrine Heathcote è un pittore Britannico contemporaneo, noto per i suoi dipinti figurativi e narrativi che evocano un mondo di glamour ed intrigo, spesso ambientato nella Jazz Age o che richiama l'estetica dell'Art Déco.

Le opere di Heathcote fondono il design iconico del periodo prebellico con concezioni moderne di bellezza e romanticismo cinematografico.

I suoi dipinti ad olio, caratterizzati da colori intensi ed una luce dorata, ritraggono spesso figure eleganti, in particolare donne indipendenti e statuarie, accanto a treni d'epoca, automobili classiche od in contesti di viaggio di lusso.
