Über das Werk
This is the last work George Barrett junior painted before he died in 1842. A graveyard was a popular subject for painters following the publication of Thomas Gray's poem 'Elegy in a Country Churchyard' in 1750. Barret worked mainly in watercolours and was a founder member of the Old Watercolour Society. This professional body was set up in 1804 to represent and promote the works of watercolour artists.
Here Barrett is trying to use watercolour to produce the same effects as painting with oil. He has overlaid heavy layers of colour with varnish to produce a surface that is unlike that of early watercolours.
