John Willis was born at Bere Alston, near Calstock, in 1887. An exhibitor at the Royal Academy for over 40 years, he rose to become Deputy Principal of Hornsey School of Art from 1922 to 1947. He was a founder member of the Paignton Arts and Crafts Society and exhibited many works at Torre Abbey. He also restored the ceiling painting at Oldway Mansion, Paignton, in the 1960s. This painting shows the railway viaduct over the River Tamar at Calstock, at which point the river marks the boundary between Devon and Cornwall.
