John and Paul Nash were British artists and brothers who gained prominence for their depictions of the English landscape and their wartime experiences. Paul Nash was a trained artist, attending the Slade School of Art, while John Nash was self-taught but equally dedicated to his art. Both served in the First World War, were appointed as official war artists, and later explored surrealism and modernism in their work.
John Nash had a significant connection to Buckinghamshire, the area commonly referred to as "Bucks." He wasn't just an architect who designed houses there, but also a resident who lived and worked in the region, particularly with his brother Paul Nash. While there are several notable houses associated with John Nash's life, the one most directly linked to him is Lane End, Meadle, where he lived with his wife Christine Kühlenthal from 1922 to 1944. This early 19th-century estate cottage is significant within Meadle's conservation area and is where he produced many of his landscape paintings and illustrations.
