| Object history | The original cartoon for this panel was in the form of a cottage. Purchased from Patrick Reyntiens when he lived at The Old Church School, near Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. |
| Historical context | Letter in RP (MA/1/P1383 Piper, John) from John Piper to Michael Archer: ...I will of course let the V&A have those panels - I think you wanted one of the Brittany Beach ones? If so, which? Whichever it is, it will need a bit of attention from Patrick before it comes to you (slight damages done on the trip to Darmstadt early this year).... Note in RP (11.11.80) from Archer to Mallet:...he [Piper] is willing to sell us 2 panels which he had made for exhibition purposes some time ago. One, of Christ, is in his style of the Oundle School Chapel commission of the late 1950s. The other is "Brittany Beach" of 1965. |
