Specialist note

Garn Fawr was John Piper’s Welsh retreat for many years. In 1962, he and his wife Myfanwy bought a ruined cottage there after exploring Pembrokeshire countryside in search of a holiday home. Highly influenced by the savage nature and the beauty of the surroundings, the place became the subject of numerous paintings.

We are very grateful to Rev. Dr Stephen Laird FSA for preparing this catalogue entry.
