Tintern Abbey by Moonlight ca. 1789 John "Warwick" Smith British John "Warwick" Smith-whose sobriquet refers to his patron, George Greville, 2nd Earl of Warwick-made extensive tours of Wales between 1784 and 1806 and prepared a series of brightly colored, small-scale watercolor views. Many were made with an eye to collaborating with William Gilpin on a second edition of that author's celebrated Observations on the River Wye (1789), a publication liberally illustrated with prints. This drawing describes the ruins of Tintern Abbey by moonlight from a vantage point across the river. By this time, the artist had abandoned the use of ink outlines and was applying strong local colors in a distinctive, painterly manner. He created the reflections of the moonlight upon water by scratching through the pigment to reveal the white paper beneath, creating an evocative nighttime scene that supports his reputation as one of the earliest romantic watercolorists..
