The Welsh Wilson was a pioneering British landscape painter. From 1750 to 1757 he moved to Italy where his style of painting sharply altered. He had an influence in future generations of artists such as J.M.W. Turner.[3] This work was purchased in 1950 for the collection of the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff.[4][5]
