John Varley

English, 1778–1842

Travaillant principalement à Londres, John Varley s'est d'abord formé auprès d'un orfèvre avant de devenir élève de Joseph Charles Barrow et de se tourner vers la peinture à l'aquarelle. Artiste anglais et astrologue, il a exposé régulièrement à la Royal Academy et a aidé à fonder la Old Watercolour Society, y montrant plus de 700 œuvres. Varley a collaboré avec William Blake sur un livre entre 1819 et 1820 et a enseigné le dessin à plusieurs élèves. Il a publié des traités sur le dessin de paysages, la perspective et la physiognomonie zodiacale, et a été enterré au cimetière de Kensal Green.
