Charles Smith Varley — Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

Charles Smith Varley is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Charles Smith Varley painted landscapes in quiet watercolor during the early 1840s. In Landscape with bridge (1843) he captured a single stone arch crossing a still stream, its reflection shimmering on the surface. His brush laid down delicate washes, letting the paper show through for light. Walk into the gallery’s Watercolour Room and find Landscape with bridge hung beside other 1840s views; you’ll see how he let the medium breathe rather than overwork it.
