Overview
It is not difficult to account for the success of Renny Tait's paintings. Many of his subjects have immediate and enduring appeal: Venetian churches, medieval fortresses and Roman ruins are typical motifs. And where the subject lacks an obvious beauty of its own, Tait's mastery of lighting and composition works a strange, potent magic, so that normally prosaic buildings like grain silos and power stations could happily hold their pediments high in the architectural firmament.
