Magdalen College, Oxford is a 1804 watercolor by John Chessell Buckler, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a long, stone building with tall, narrow windows and pointed towers. The center has a tall spire, while the sides have smaller, matching towers. The ground is flat and empty, with a few faint patches of grass. The sky is pale, blending into the soft hills in the background. The artist focused on the details of the building’s stonework and arches, using light washes of color. This style was common in the early 1800s when artists often drew buildings carefully to show their shapes and textures. Want to see more like this? Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
