Arbroath Abbey – Echoes in Stone
Original artwork by Ms Bella St John.
This evocative painting captures the haunting majesty of Arbroath Abbey, its weathered stone arches standing as solemn witnesses to centuries past. Once a place of spiritual power and political significance, the ruins now radiate a melancholic beauty beneath a brooding sky. Soft light filters through the ghosted remains of windows, suggesting stories half-remembered and time gently reclaimed by nature.
With rich textures and an impressionist palette, Ms St John invites the viewer to feel both the grandeur and the fragility of heritage. The atmosphere is both reverent and raw – a tribute to what endures, and what fades, in the march of history.
