Welsh artists

Wales has a long history of great painters inspired by its rugged landscapes and extraordinary coastline. Our selection spans 300 years, from the eighteenth century to the present day, and features a diverse range of styles.

The list includes depictions of mythological scenes and classical landscapes by pioneering artists such as Richard Wilson and his student Thomas Jones. Modern works include Gwen John's understated portraits and Kyffin Williams' colourful portrayals of farming life.

Whatever your personal taste, you’ll find below a perfect piece of Welsh art to hang on your wall.
