About the painting
This painting of Conway Castle shows the influence of the great ‘classical’ landscapist, Claude Lorrain (c.1604-82), especially in its balanced and harmonious composition. It is attributed to the Reverend J. Thomson who was a successful, Scottish landscapist as well as minister of Duddingston from 1805.
As well as painting works influenced by the Old Masters, Thomson produced works of real originality in which the main features of the Scottish landscape and climate were evoked in broad, rapid brushstrokes. He was a close friend of the writer Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), who was an important influence on his work, and collaborated with J.M.W. (1775-1851), to produce illustrations for Scott’s Provincial Antiquities and Picturesque Scenery of Scotland (1826).
