His works idealise motifs of the English province and peasant work. His interest is entirely focused on people. In this sense, his artistic work is not in the English tradition of landscape painting. While the world-famous William Turner barely devoted himself to the representation of figures in the first half of the 19th century, John Absolon is a talented portraitist. Although he lives in the Victorian age, in which Great Britain made the leap to industrialization and experienced a large population growth, he is still a talented portraitist. Absolon's interest, however, remains the village environment. An exception is his picture of the Crystal Palace in London's Hyde Park at the 1851 World Exhibition.
London was one of the most important cities in the world and had a lively art and theatre scene. Absolon started his career as a portraitist and as a painter for stage sets in the still famous theatre districts around Drury Lane and Covent Garden. The urban environment and his personal commitment enabled him to make a living from his artistic work early on. At the age of 17 the artist was able to show his first exhibition at the Suffolk Street Gallery. In his early years he still mainly uses oil paints. Only after a study stay in Paris did he switch to watercolours and became a member of the New Society of Painters in Water Colours.
John Absolon's delicate colouring depicts figures and backgrounds in great detail. His play with light and creates a spatial depth and creates a strong atmosphere. One of his famous works, "The Haymakers" from the 1850s, illustrates his characteristic painting style. The focus is on a group of agricultural workers, who are resting during summer fieldwork, worked out with great attention to detail. This glorification of rural life is not untypical of Absolon's work, even if it does not correspond to the reality of life for many people in the 19th century. His focus is on the depiction of people and groups of people, while the landscape recedes into the background and is only depicted in a blurred way. His watercolour "Sunday Evening" is completely devoted to the depiction of people, without spatial or landscape integration. "The Emigrant Ship" shows a scene on board a ship and illustrates his masterly handling of light and darkness.
