"A Barn, Interior of the Ruined Refectory of St. Martin's Priory, Dover" is a watercolor painting by the renowned English artist Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851). Created in 1792, this artwork is an early example of Turner's exploration of architectural subjects and his fascination with light and atmosphere. The painting depicts the interior of a barn that was once part of the refectory of St. Martin's Priory in Dover, Kent, illustrating Turner's interest in the British landscape and historical structures.

The Priory of St. Martin was originally founded during the Saxon period and had a long history before falling into disrepair and ruin. Turner's choice to capture the interior of the refectory as a barn reflects the adaptive reuse of religious buildings following the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. In this work, Turner demonstrates his skill in rendering the interplay of natural light filtering through the openings and casting shadows within the space, a technique that would become a hallmark of his mature style.

Measuring approximately 31.1 x 46.4 cm, the painting is executed with the meticulous detail characteristic of Turner's early watercolors. It showcases his precision in architectural draughtsmanship, combined with a sensitivity to the effects of light and the textural qualities of the aging stone and woodwork. The artwork is part of a series of studies and sketches Turner made of the priory, reflecting his practice of working from life and his dedication to capturing the essence of his subjects.

"A Barn, Interior of the Ruined Refectory of St. Martin's Priory, Dover" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited on various occasions, contributing to the understanding of Turner's development as an artist and his contribution to British art. The painting is an important piece in the oeuvre of J.M.W. Turner, offering insight into his early work and the themes that would continue to resonate throughout his career.
