1815
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Penryhn Castle in North Wales is a 1815 watercolor by Gastineau, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet countryside scene with a river winding through green fields. A few cows stand near the water, and a bare tree with twisted branches leans in from the left. In the distance, a castle sits on a hill, surrounded by rolling hills and a soft, pale sky. The artist used light washes of color to make the scene feel peaceful and dreamy. The castle looks old and grand, but it’s small in the painting, so the land feels bigger than anything else. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this painting in person.
