This joyful gouache painting of a bucolic scene captures the freedom and movement of dance and is typical of Feibusch’s colourful, figurative work after he settled in England in 1933, having aroused Nazi antagonism after winning the Prussian State Prize for Painting. His pictures were publicly burned, he was forbidden to paint, and his work was later included in the Nazis infamous 1937 “Degenerate Art” exhibition. His neo-classical manner draws on his admiration for Italian Renaissance mural paintings and his celebrated work as a prolific Church of England muralist, with work in some 35 Anglican churches and cathedrals, including Chichester Cathedral, as well as five panels for the Stern Hall at West London Synagogue (now Ben Uri Collection, on loan to St. Bonifatius Church, with the cooperation of the German Embassy London).
