John Piper (1903-1992) was an English painter and printmaker. His work often focused on the British landscape, especially churches and monuments, and included tapestry designs, book jackets, screen-prints, photography, fabrics and ceramics.

Some of the paintings were specially painted for this book, and many are reproduced for the first time.
