More about this artwork

"Mountain Heights, Cader Idris" by David Cox, circa 1850, is a stunning depiction of one of Wales’ most revered natural landscapes. This watercolor painting captures the majestic presence of Cader Idris, a mountain in the Snowdonia National Park renowned for its rugged beauty and mythic associations.In this artwork, Cox employs a masterful use of color and light to evoke the grandeur of the mountains. The foreground presents a tumultuous blend of earthy tones, suggesting rocky, uneven terrain that gradually ascends towards the peaks. The middle ground shows slightly obscured mountain forms, a hint at the shifting mists that often envelop these heights. The painting's dynamic sky, with its fleeting clouds and patches of blue, adds a sense of atmospheric tumult and ephemeral light.Cox's technique in "Mountain Heights, Cader Idris" effectively conveys the raw, untamed character of the Welsh landscape, making it a compelling example of his work during a period when he was particularly fascinated with capturing the sublime and transient aspects of nature.

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.
