In this drawing Turner of Oxford depicts the ruins of Hailes Abbey. Hailes Abbey is a 13th century Cistercian abbey situated on the Cotswold Way. The abbey was founded in 1246 by Richard of Cornwall, the younger brother of King Henry III of England. The abbey was closed, looted and partially destroyed in 1539 when Henry VIII enforced the Dissolution of the monasteries.
Turner captures this place that was once the centre of monastic life, drawing the tranquil ruins of the cloisters. With confident delineate markings Turner conveys these beautiful ruins that sit nestled in the plush Cotswold landscape. His work is clearly distinguished from his better known namesake, while J M W Turner presented the natural world in all of its dramatic variety, Turner of Oxford captured the intense stillness.
From a young age Turner showed a capacity and contrivance of a veteran landscape painter to whom nature has become familiar. For most of his life he lived in Oxford and subsequently Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties provided Turner with many of his subjects. A good number of Turner's drawings and paintings were created 'on the spot' or 'drawn from nature'. This drawing was almost certainly drawn en plein air and as a result, whilst the marks remain assured the drawing is also brilliantly free. Turner was very often intent on depicting the effects of weather and season in his work.
Even here, in this delicate sketch, the bright midday sun of a British summer is conveyed through Turner's selective placement of deep, but short, shadows

Claude Hayes was a Dublin born painter who to avoid his father's wish to make a businessman of him ran away to sea and served on the Golden Fleece, one of the transports used in the Abyssinian expedition of 1867-68, and also spent a year in the United States. Returning to London, he studied art at Heatherley's and the Royal Academy Schools, and then in Antwerp, under Charles Verlat. He worked in Hampshire with James Aumonier and also in Surrey with William Charles Estall, whose sister he married.
Hayes exhibited widely in London and provincial centres, and was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1886, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 1883, and the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour, 1902. He also showed at the RA, RBSA, Brook Street Art Gallery, Dudley Gallery, FAS, GI, Grosvenor Gallery, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, MAFA, RBA, RHA, Ridley Art Club, RSW and Walker's Gallery, London. In 1912, Claude Hayes represented England at the Venice Biennale. His work is in various public collections in England and Ireland including the Ulster Museum, Museums Sheffield, Torre Abbey Museum and the Leeds City Art Gallery. His father was the artist Edwin Hayes.
