Sidney Richard Percy (1821-1886)

This striking view, showing a storm clearing from the West over the Welsh hills, demonstrates Percy's abilities as a painter of the dramatic and picturesque. Percy was an observant rather than a fanciful artist and it is probable that he had witnessed this scene, which is located not far from where he and his family spent many summer holidays.
