Artist context

About David Tindle

David Tindle (born 1932, Huddersfield) is a British painter known for landscape and italianate subjects. Elected a Royal Academician in 1979, he holds a significant place in post-war British art. Tindle is a Fellow of St Edmund Hall, Oxford, where several of his paintings hang in the Senior Common Room, including a portrait of former Principal Justin Gosling. His work is represented in major public collections, including the Tate and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History lists him as an English painter with landscape and italianate as principal subjects. Tindle has lived and worked in Santa Maria del Giudice, near Lucca, Italy, for much of his later career. His Italian surroundings have deeply informed the atmospheric landscape tradition for which he is recognized.
