Beddgelert 1834

This simple yet evocative pencil sketch, titled "Beddgelert," was created by the English artist John Linnell in 1834. The work depicts a tranquil landscape scene, likely inspired by the mountainous region of Beddgelert, Wales. Linnell, a prominent figure in the Romantic art movement, captured the beauty of the natural world through his delicate lines and subtle shading, inviting viewers to contemplate the serene atmosphere of the mountains and the winding river. The sketch reflects a growing interest in landscape art during the 19th century, with artists seeking to capture the sublime and the picturesque aspects of the natural world.
