John Varley Antique English Landscape Watercolor on Paper Framed 1800s
By John Varley
Located in Keego Harbor, MI
A tranquil and peaceful watercolor on paper depicting a landscape with a fortress by English artist John Varley. Circa early 1800s. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, ""Varley's landscapes are graceful and solemn in feeling, and simple and broad in treatment, being worked with a full brush and pure fresh transparent tints, usually without any admixture of body-colour. Though his works are rather mannered and conventional, they are well considered and excellent in composition. Some of his earlier water-colours, including his ""Views of the Thames,"" were painted upon the spot, and possess greater individuality than his later productions, which are mainly compositions of mountain and lake scenery, produced without direct reference to nature."" An opportunity to own an antique watercolor a well-known English watercolorist. From a private collection. Original gallery tag on verso from Squire Gallery. Dimensions: 14”h x 15.25”w x 1”d (framed). In good vintage condition.

Frame size 20.3 inches x 30.3 inches ( 51.5cm x 77cm ).
Available for sale; this original painting is by the former long-standing President of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, Ronald Maddox, and dates from 1980.
The watercolor is presented and supplied in a sympathetic and contrasting contemporary frame to suit the subject coloration (which is shown in these photographs) and behind non-reflective Tru Vue UltraVue® UV70 glass.
This vintage piece is in superb condition. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display.

Provenance: The painting was exhibited at the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours at The Mall Galleries at 17 Carlton Terrace, SW.1, London in 1980. The exhibition label from the previous backboard of the painting has been retained and affixed to the rear of the new backboard.
Ronald Maddox was an accomplished and successful British artist, designer and illustrator.
He was born in Purley, Surrey and studied at St. Albans School of Art from 1945 to 1948. He then served with the Air Ministry Design Service, during which time he attended Regent Street Polytechnic in London from 1949-51, before completing his studies at the London College of Printing. His tutors included Henry Trevick, Raymond Sheppard, and Christopher Saunders.
From 1953 to 1962 Maddox worked as an art director for advertising agencies in London. He then worked as a freelance artist illustrator and graphic designer. Between 1972 and 1989 Maddox worked extensively for the Post Office and the Royal Mail, and the Isle of Man postal authority. He designed stamps, stamp book covers, first day presentation packs, posters and charts. His stamps typically feature British architecture, rural life and the countryside. He also produced posters for British Rail and painted pictures that were used as carriage panel prints, and illustrated several books.
Maddox’s talents were well recognised and respected in the professional art and design communities. He was elected a member of the Society of Industrial Artists & Designers in 1956 and of the Royal Institute in 1959, in 1989 becoming its president. He was a Fellow of the Chartered Society of Designers and a Fellow of the Society of Architectural Illustrators.
Maddox received many awards for his work as an artist and designer, including the Winsor & Newton /RI 150th Anniversary Award in 1981 and the Members’ Award in 1991. He was a Hunting Group Finalist several times and won the Design Council Award in 1973 and the Rowland Hilder Award for the Most Outstanding Landscape in 1990.
Maddox excelled at architectural work, reproducing the textures and patterns of buildings, but he is perhaps best known for his topographical art...

John Varley (17 August 1778 - 17 November 1842) was an English watercolour painter and astrologer, and a close friend of William Blake. They collaborated in 1819-1820 on the book Visionary Heads, illustrated by Blake and written by Varley, who was the elder brother of Cornelius Varley.
John Varley was born at the Old Blue Post Tavern, Hackney, on 17 August 1778. His father, Richard Varley, born at Epworth in Lincolnshire, had settled in London after the death of his first wife in Yorkshire. For a brief time John Varley was employed by a portrait painter in Holborn and then, at the age of 15 or 16, he became a pupil of Joseph Charles Barrow (fl. 1789-1802), who had an evening drawing school twice a week at 12 Furnival's Inn Court, Holborn. It was Barrow who took Varley on a sketching tour to Peterborough from which he emerged as a professional painter. In 1798 he exhibited a highly regarded sketch of Peterborough Cathedral...
