Events and News for Claude Buckle paintings

This page shows some of the paintings associated with major events which have been going since the 1800's and are still held every year. Claude Buckle travelled every year to France and Spain and based many of his pictures from scenes in these countries. We show for example the Pamplona "running of the bulls" oil painting done in the late 1950's. The classic picture "Racing off Ryde" was done to publicise Cowes Week and the Ile of White British rail ferry which operated between Portsmouth and Ryde in the 1960s.
