Dog Below Crucifix by Craigie Aitchison
Craigie Aitchison was a Scottish painter celebrated for his distinctive use of bold colour, simplified forms, and poetic compositions. His work often explored religious themes, Italian landscapes, and depictions of his beloved Bedlington Terriers. Aitchison studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and developed a unique style characterised by luminous backgrounds, a strong sense of stillness, and an emotional depth that transcended realism.
Dog Below Crucifix (1994) exemplifies Aitchison’s signature approach, blending spirituality with personal iconography. The painting features one of his recurring subjects—a solitary dog beneath a crucifix—set against a richly coloured, atmospheric backdrop. This quiet yet evocative composition reflects his ability to convey deep emotion through minimal yet powerful imagery.
