About the piece
Painted around 1780 by Joseph Farington, this oil on canvas work depicts the monumental ruins of Caernarvon Castle. The composition highlights the enduring strength of the medieval stone structures, set against a calm Welsh landscape. The soft, atmospheric light and small figures in the foreground provide a sense of scale and historical contemplation, characteristic of late 18th-century British landscape traditions.
