Description: | The Carmelites or White Friars founded their monastery in Newcastle before 1262. The building has since been demolished. It stood where Forth Street and Orchard Street are now, near Central Station. This watercolour is one of several studies of important North-East buildings painted by Robert Johnson. They may have been intended as designs for prints. Johnson had been an apprentice in the Newcastle engraving workshop of Thomas Bewick, and was a talented watercolour painter. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1790 to 1796 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Robert Johnson | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
