Henry Edridge, British 1768-1821- Furness Abbey, Cumbria; pencil and watercolour on paper, signed and dated 'H. Edridge 1814' (lower left), bears label for the John Booth Collection attached to the reverse of the frame, 31.5 x 44.8 cm. Provenance: Anon. sale, Sotheby's, London, 24 September 1987, lot 182. Published: D. Thomas and I. Bennett, The Price Guide to English Watercolours 1750-1900, Antiques Collectors' Club, p. 155. Note: Edridge was a prominent watercolourist, principally known for his portraits, depicting well-known public figures such as Lord Nelson (1758-1805), William Pitt the Younger (1759-1806), and John Wesley (1703-1791). Alongside his thriving career as a portraitist, Edridge also enjoyed painting landscapes, and the present work is an example of the artist's serene, romantic output in this genre. Edridge's landscapes in particular show the influence of the 'Monro School' of artists, with whom he was associated. This group of artists, which included Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851), Thomas Hearne (1744-1817) and Thomas Girtin (1775-1802) often gathered at the home of prominent art collector and physician Dr. Thomas Monro (1759-1833), who is also depicted in a portrait by Edridge [Indianapolis Museum of Art, 1996.156]. The work presented here depicts the historic ruin of Furness Abbey in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, which, by the 15th century, was the second richest and most powerful Cistercian abbey after Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire.
