About the piece
Painted in 1764 by the renowned Welsh artist Richard Wilson, this work depicts Caernarfon Castle along the Menai Strait. Wilson utilizes a soft, golden palette to evoke the tranquil atmosphere of a summer evening, with small boats and figures adding a sense of scale and life to the majestic coastal ruins.
