Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England; November 30, 1874-London, January 24, 1965), known as Winston Churchill, was a British politician, military man, writer and statesman who served as Prime Minister of the Kingdom United. from 1940 to 1945, during World War II, and again from 1951 to 1955 by the Conservative Party. Although best known for his wartime leadership as Prime Minister, Churchill also served as a soldier after studying at Sandhurst, was a Nobel Prize-winning writer and historian, a prolific painter, and one of the longest-serving politicians in British history. Apart from two years, between 1922 and 1924, he was a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1900 to 1964 and represented a total of five electoral districts. Ideologically liberal and economically capitalist, for most of his career he was a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from 1940 to 1955, although he was also in the Liberal Party from 1904 to 1924.

Winston Churchill also took up painting, a hobby that gave him great pleasure. He indulged in this activity especially after his resignation as First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915. Churchill found in painting a refuge during periods of depression. According to his own words, he was fighting a black dog (Black Dog) that chased him throughout his life. However, in the landscapes and still lifes of him there is no trace whatsoever to prove this fact. He is best known for his Impressionist landscape scenes, many of which he painted while on vacation in southern France, the island of Madeira, and Morocco. During his life he painted dozens of pictures, some of which are still on display in his studio at Chartwell.
