Description
Oil on canvas painting by Margaret Neve who was born in 1929.
The painting is housed in a wooden frame which in turn is housed in a wooden cover. We can only presume there was a cover to the front as we do not have it.
Provenance shows that this painting was purchased from the Society for Education in Art Exhibition in 1960.
To the verso is a green label showing F2221 which is the paintings accession number. Further, a brown label reads Buxton Museum, Buxton being a small town in Derbyshire.
Also to the verso is a typed label containing the following:

BIOGRAPHY:
Her work is inspired by her experiences of Wales where she lived with her young family in the
1950s and 60s, and where she continues to visit on a regualar basis. Here she found peace and
solitude high on the slopes of the Aran Mountains. “I was completely free in my mind. We lived
very, very simply. And one got this extraordinary feeling of nature, through the twenty-four hours
of each day and through the seasons of the year, with the movement of the sun and moon and
the stars. A truly elemental feeling.”
Neve’s style combines a strongly articulated structure, a distinctive vocabulary of non-naturalistic
forms, and a jewelled, carefully worked surface of brilliant colours. Inspired by Byzantine Bible
covers, she has developed a technique of dots that are painstakingly and evenly applied across
the entire picture surface. This microscopic application of pure pigment gives her enormous
control and allows her to continually rework the surface. The dramatic effects of light created by
the build up of colour, combined with her often religious subject matter produces deeply passion-
ate and emotive landscapes.
Now in her late seventies, Margaret Neve has worked as a painter for over 50 years, and has
been widely collected and exhibited in the UK and America. A richly illustrated monograph with
accompanying text by Sister Wendy Beckett was published in 1998. She lives in north London
with her husband and continues to paint her symbolic landscapes.

Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.
Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
