About the Art

Summer of 44 by Nicolas Trudgian depicts the tense yet hopeful atmosphere in southern England just days before the Normandy landings. His painting shows Mk IX Spitfires of No. 126 Squadron sweeping low over a rural railway station as American troops prepare for the imminent invasion. Trudgian’s hallmark style combines meticulous technical detail with sweeping, atmospheric backdrops, creating a striking contrast between the peaceful English countryside and the looming reality of war. Widely regarded as one of the most respected aviation artists of his generation, Trudgian’s work is prized by collectors for its ability to balance historical accuracy with painterly drama.
