專家說明

De Wint first visited Glamorgan in 1824. In the present watercolour, De Wint has modified the topography surrounding the ruins to include mountains, which in reality are not there. Furthermore, as Andrew Wyld noted in his catalogue, the artist has 'placed a tree to obscure the rather incongruous classical temple built in the 1740s by John Wood of Bath within the ruined nave' (loc.cit.). De Wint was seeking to emphasise the romantic ruin, particularly as by 1848, extensive building work was underway to restore the cathedral.
