1803
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Part of Cader Idris and Tal-y-Llyn is a 1803 watercolor by Cornelius Varley, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a quiet mountain scene. A rocky slope rises steeply from the bottom, with a small stream cutting through it. The sky above is soft and cloudy, painted in pale blues and whites. The whole thing looks a little sketchy, like it was done quickly outdoors. The artist signed it in the corner, calling it *Part of Cader Idris and Tal-y-Llyn*. The name suggests this is just one piece of a bigger view. If you like this style, look up Romanticism.
A watercolour painting depicts the landscape of Cader Idris and Tal-y-Llyn in Southern Eryri, also known as Snowdonia, Wales.
