Jonathan Skelton is a Rococo painting artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Jonathan Skelton carried a pocket-sized sketchbook like a diary, every page a quiet walk through London’s edges, where graveyards and old palaces kept their secrets. He preferred watercolour because it dried fast, letting him dash between views before the light shifted. If you’ve ever stood in St Pancras Old Church’s shadow at dusk, you’ve felt the same hush he bottled in 1755.

Tap his St Pancras Old Church and step into a London that still hums just beyond the Tube’s roar.
