Lousada

St. Nicholas, Cole Abbey, Queen Victoria Street
St. Giles, Cripplegate after bombing
Conduit Street, corner of Saville Row, after bombing

Lousada is a social realism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

These three watercolours show London landmarks caught in the Blitz. Lousada painted St. Nicholas Cole Abbey, Conduit Street at Savile Row, and St. Giles Cripplegate shortly after the 1941 bombings, their washes still soft against the rubble. Each sheet quietly records what was lost—an everyday street corner, a church steeple, the gentle curve of a façade—before the city rebuilt. Tap any of the three scenes to step inside the wartime paper record of London.
