More about this artwork

"Conway" by David Cox is a captivating example of the romantic landscape painting style that was emblematic of the artist's work throughout the 19th century. This evocative piece portrays the historic Welsh town of Conway, now commonly known as Conwy, nestled along the banks of the River Conwy.In the foreground of the painting, a picturesque scene unfolds with horses and their riders emerging from the river, suggesting a sense of daily life intertwined with nature. The artist's use of light watercolors and swift, expressive brush strokes imbues the scenery with a transient, almost ethereal quality, capturing the fleeting moments of daylight and shadow.The background is dominated by the outline of the medieval Conway Castle, its elongated silhouette stretching across the canvas, framed by the distant mountains shrouded in mist. The muted tones and soft contours of the hills and the castle evoke a sense of tranquility and enduring beauty.On the river, subtle details of boats and reflections on the water enhance the serene atmosphere, offering a glimpse into the calm and rhythmic pace of life along the river. This scene not only highlights Cox’s mastery of atmosphere and mood but also his deep appreciation for the untouched landscapes and historical sites of Great Britain.

David Cox (29 April 1783 – 7 June 1859) was an English landscape painter, one of the most important members of the Birmingham School of landscape artists and an early precursor of Impressionism.

He is considered one of the greatest English landscape painters, and a major figure of the Golden age of English watercolour.

Although most popularly known for his works in watercolour, he also painted over 300 works in oil towards the end of his career, now considered "one of the greatest, but least recognised, achievements of any British painter."

His son, known as David Cox the Younger (1809–1885), was also a successful artist.
