David Cox's 1846 watercolor "View near Bettws-y-Coed" captures a rugged Welsh landscape. Cox was a celebrated English painter known for his atmospheric and expressive landscapes. The painting depicts a steep, rocky hillside, with a winding path leading upwards. The loose brushstrokes and washes of color evoke the feeling of a misty day, and the dramatic composition emphasizes the grandeur of nature. This work exemplifies Cox's mastery of watercolor, capturing the beauty of the Welsh countryside with sensitivity and detail.
