Description: | John Varley visited Lindisfarne/Holy Island in 1808 on one of several visits to Northumberland. This picture is on the thick rough paper that Varley recommended for outdoor painting. It may have been partly painted on the spot (rather than sketched, and then coloured in the studio), despite its large size. Varley's broad, warm-coloured washes show the influence of Thomas Girtin. John Varley was an influential London teacher to professional and amateur artists. He also taught painting to several ladies and gentlemen from Northumberland families. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1808 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | John Varley | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
