Nash first visited Avebury in 1933. The site contains the largest complex of Neolithic stone circles and avenues in England. Nash’s attention was caught by one particular standing stone that became the subject of this painting and Stone Tree. At the time of his visit the site was still wild and untended: some stones were half covered by grass, others entangled or overgrown in the copse but the colouring and pattern, the patina of golden lichen, all enhanced the strange forms and mystical significance for the artist.

Painting
Work of art made with paint on a surface. Often the surface, also called a support, is a tightly stretched piece of canvas, paper or a wooden panel. Painting involves a wide range of techniques and materials, along with the artist's intellectual concerns effecting the content of a work.
