From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Carnarvon Castle and the Menai Straits is a 1850 watercolor by Peter De Wint, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet coastal scene with a ruined castle on a rocky shore. The water is calm, reflecting the soft sky, and a few small figures walk along the beach. In the distance, rolling hills and mountains fade into a pale, misty light. The artist used thin, delicate strokes to capture the light on the water and sky. The castle ruins add a sense of history to the peaceful landscape. Look up de Wint to see more of his work.
