More about this artwork
Barbara Bodichon's captivating watercolor, "View of Snowdon with a Stormy Sky," offers a dynamic and emotive depiction of the rugged landscape surrounding Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales. This painting skillfully captures the intense, swirling storm clouds that gather over the mountain, contrasting dramatically with the serene and timeless landscape below.In the foreground, the rugged terrain is dotted with ruins and sparse vegetation, evoking a sense of remote, untouched wilderness. The subtle color palette, primarily consisting of earthy browns and dark blues, enhances the painting's moody atmosphere, hinting at the transient beauty of natural light during a storm. The dramatic sky dominates the scene, with its heavy, sweeping brushstrokes of grey and white illustrating the fast-moving storm clouds.Bodichon's work not only highlights her mastery of watercolor techniques but also her deep appreciation for the sublime aspects of nature.

Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon (8 April 1827 – 11 June 1891) was an English educationalist and artist, and a leading mid-19th-century feminist and women's rights activist.
Bodichon studied at the Ladies' College in Bedford Square founded in London, England in 1849. Here she was given instruction for work as a professional artist rather than an art instructor. Bodichon came from a liberal Unitarian family with a private income. Their independent wealth gave Bodichon more freedom to grow as an artist.
