Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England.

A scene of Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire which I painted for a client. What an utterly gorgeous place it looks!

This is an image of the 'Cellarium' at Fountains Abbey, in North Yorkshire, England. As I understand it, this large space was used to store the harvest yield. While much of Fountains Abbey was destroyed during King Henry VIII-ordered dissolution of the monasteries, this extraordinary structure survived. What I love about this image is the light from the open windows and how it illuminates the truly amazing vaulted ceiling. Considering that this place was essentially a barn, it was built with such lasting care.
