Newark Abbey

Newark Abbey is a c.1807 landscape painting by the British artist J.M.W. Turner. It depicts a view on the River Wey, a tributary of the River Thames, near Weybridge in Surrey. It features the ruins of Newark Priory, once a Augustinian monastery before the Dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII in the distance. The foreground is dominated by the river. Aboard a barge workers prepare an evening meal in the sunset, seemingly oblivious to the historic ruins behind them. It is also known as Newark Abbey on the Wey.
