Bohun Lodge, New Barnet is an 8 watercolor by John James Chalon, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a big, pale yellow house with white columns and a gray roof. Trees frame the scene on both sides, and a grassy lawn stretches in front. A few bushes and flower beds add color near the house, and a path leads up to the entrance. The sky is light and soft, almost like a pale wash. The artist used loose, watery brushstrokes to capture the light and greenery. The house looks quiet and grand, sitting calmly in its garden. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
John James Chalon (27 March 1778 – 14 November 1854) was a Swiss painter active in England. He treated a wide range of subjects — landscapes, marine scenes, animal life, and figure-pieces.
