Famous in his lifetime he is less well known today. It's possible to link the decline of interest in Brangwyn's work to the decline of the British Empire itself. The artist's bold vigorous style was suited to the optimistic spirit of late-Victorian British societybut inconsistent with the less confident feeling prevalent in the post World War I period.
