Description: | George Hickin concentrated on using nature and landscapes in his work to convey thoughtful and uplifting feelings. Many of his paintings appear to place great value on solitude and contemplation. The wilderness and rugged countryside was a popular theme for painting with the Victorians, who idealised the rural way of life increasingly replaced by industrial towns and cities.
