William Turner, Stairway to Paradise, oil.

William Turner F.R.S.A., R.Cam.A. (1920-2013), Stairway to Paradise, signed, titled on verso, oil on board, 39.5 x 29.5cm.; 15.5 x 11.5in. I asked Will what inspired him to paint this picture. He explained that the Stairway down to Hell was of marble and was easily navigated. However, the Stairway to Heaven was like a broken ladder with many pitfalls in the ascent. Only the most worthy would be able to make it to the top - Dave Gunning, Todmorden Fine Art. Artists' Resale Right (droit de suite) may apply to this lot.

Sold for £4,800
