The second volume in the highly acclaimed, pioneering trilogy on the visual culture of Wales explores the imaging of the people and the land of Wales from the Tudor period until the 1960s. The author discusses the emergence of portraiture among the Tudor gentry, the landscape movement of the eighteenth century, artisan painting, and the national movement in art from the end of the nineteenth century. The development of images and image-making is examined in the broader context of the social, economic and political development of the nation.
The text, which is lavishly illustrated with over 700 images, most in colour and many of them published for the first time, is designed to appeal to all those interested in the visual culture and history of Wales.
An English version of this volume is also available.
