Meaning & Analysis

Until the final years of his life Lowry continued to draw obsessively, producing over 8,000 works, many like this one that were made on location as a means to capture the nuances of his everyday life. Lowry saw drawing as a medium in its own right, not just as an important step in producing paintings. St. Mary’s Church is indicative of Lowry’s adept handling of line and tone that certainly marked him as more than a mere ‘Sunday painter’.

St. Mary’s Church reveals Lowry’s precise style in handling depth and perspective, notably in his great focus on detail with the architecture in the scene. Lowry’s lithographs like St. Mary’s Church are produced by hand whereby a plate is etched and inked, and the paper is then pressed onto the plate to produce an original. Due to this printing process, no two prints are exactly the same and are therefore highly sought after.

  • Born in 1887, L. S. Lowry was a key figure in 20th century British painting. Known for his distinctive painterly style and 'matchstick men', Lowry aimed to put industry on the map by typically focusing on scenes from his hometown in the North West of England. The naivety of his art drew criticism, yet has stood the test of time with the artist becoming a household name. Lowry has consistently performed in the secondary market, with works such as Going To The Match achieving a value of £2,919,000 in 2021 and the editioned prints remaining highly sought after.
