Sull’opera
John Varley visited Bolton Abbey during a sketching tour of Yorkshire in 1803. Almost 40 years later he painted this watercolour. The story of the abbey appealed to artists and writers working in the 'Romantic' style. The building marked the place where the benefactor's beloved son had drowned.
Varley 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. He was also an important teacher, and many of his pupils became successful artists.
