Alan Lowndes first settled in Cornwall at Zennor. The church and its location, perched between high moorland and windswept sea cliffs, provided constant inspiration for Lowndes and other artists of the St Ives community, including Peter Lanyon, Barbara Hepworth and, in earlier years, Alfred Wallis. Lowndes resisted engaging with the progressive elements of the Cornish aesthetic, resolutely producing paintings that connected with working traditions and everyday life.
