About this objectLike many of the artists within the Liverpool School WJJC Bond was primarily a landscape artist working mostly in oil with the occasional watercolour study. This piece, painted in oil on panel, displays Bond’s keen eye for detail with thick layers of paint being used to add texture and the intricacies of the abbey, trees, and foliage shining through.
