John Luke ‘Shaw’s Bridge Belfast’ 1939.

Shaw's Bridge" is probably Luke's last major work before the start of the Second World War and a significant point in the artist's development. This work recalls the earlier composition "The Bridge" from 1936 with its more simplified form and colours. Luke painted at least two versions of the bridge, the earliest in 1936, and he made at least one linocut print (c.1933). Shaw's Bridge" represents a synthesis in the artist's style, culminating in the more recognisable decorative and rhythmical compositions, and it is the work in which he settled on the technique of applying oil glazes over a tempera base. Luke continued to use this unusual technique for the remainder of his meticulously planned and executed easel paintings. "Shaw's Bridge" is probably the last painting that Luke completed with an identifiable topographical subject matter. After 1940 he turned increasingly to mural painting and public commissions.
