"Glastonbury Abbey" is a painting by Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851), a renowned English Romantic landscape painter, watercolourist, and printmaker. Turner is celebrated for his expressive colourisations, imaginative landscapes, and turbulent marine paintings. His work is regarded as a Romantic preface to Impressionism.

The painting depicts the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, one of the most important religious sites in England, with a history steeped in early Christianity and legends, including connections to King Arthur and the Holy Grail. The Abbey was a site of pilgrimage and a center of power until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century when it was dismantled.

In "Glastonbury Abbey," Turner captures the interplay of natural and architectural elements, a common theme in his oeuvre. The work is characterized by its atmospheric effects and the interplay of light and shadow, which imbue the scene with a sense of both grandeur and decay. Turner's use of light not only highlights the spiritual legacy of the Abbey but also reflects on the passage of time and the transient nature of human endeavors.

Turner's interest in the Abbey can be seen as part of the larger Romantic movement's fascination with the medieval past and the ruins of the pre-industrial world, which were often seen as symbols of the sublime and the picturesque. His work often explored the tension between the natural world and human history, and "Glastonbury Abbey" is a prime example of this exploration.

The painting is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of the British landscape, contributing to Turner's legacy as one of the foremost landscape painters of the 19th century. "Glastonbury Abbey" is not only a testament to Turner's skill as an artist but also serves as a historical document, capturing the enduring allure of one of Britain's most significant religious and cultural landmarks.
