Painting of Glastonbury Abbey
- Description
- Glastonbury Abbey was once the wealthiest monastic house in England. When it was dissolved in 1539 its buildings were plundered and quickly became ruinous. George Arnald presents the abbey as a romanticised symbol of the past. He has moved the Abbotês Kitchen and Glastonbury Tor to heighten the visual effect.
