"Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire" is a watercolor painting by Thomas Girtin, completed in 1801. The painting depicts the ruins of Guisborough Priory, a 12th-century Augustinian priory in Yorkshire, England. The ruins are depicted in detail, with a focus on the large archway and the crumbling walls. Girtin's atmospheric use of watercolor and his romantic portrayal of the ruins make this a quintessential work of the early English Romantic period.
