Note du spécialiste

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.
