Glyn Philpot achieved considerable success in his twenties and thirties as a painter of grand, traditional society portraits. The financial security that this brought gave him the freedom to pursue his interests, painting mythological and imaginative subjects, and, in the 1930s, adopting a more experimental, modernist style.
