Carey Castle in Pembroke Shire, from Twelve Views in Aquatinta from Drawings taken on the Spot in South Wales 1773 - 1775

Paul Sandby's aquatint print, "Carey Castle in Pembroke Shire", from the series "Twelve Views in Aquatinta from Drawings taken on the Spot in South Wales", depicts the ruined Carey Castle in a romantic, evocative light. Sandby was a pioneer of aquatint, a printing technique that creates tonal effects similar to watercolor. The print showcases the crumbling walls and towers of the castle against a soft, hazy sky, capturing the beauty of the decaying structure. This print is a testament to Sandby's skill as a landscape artist and his ability to evoke the history and character of a place through his art.
