Although Winifred
Knights' Rome Scholarship came to an end in 1923, she continued to live
and work at the British School at Rome during 1924-5, where she married
her fellow student Thomas Monnington in April 1924. These studies,
undertaken whilst on her honeymoon at Lake Piedeluca, were later used as
the background of Knights' epic Santissima Trinita, 1924-30.
Knights
made extensive landscape studies during her stay in Italy (see Italian
Landscape, 1920, Tate Gallery NO3683), most frequently of the
countryside around Lazio, Umbria and the Abruzzi. She often worked in
triplicate, creating a drawing, then an outline on tracing paper and
lastly a colour study. This colour study is sold with a brown ink
outline drawing of the same subject.
