During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Grand Tour provided an opportunity for aristocrats to discover the wonders of Europe and beyond. This was a time before photography and drawing and painting were the only ways to capture views. Landscape art became popular, and paintings were often turned into prints to illustrate guidebooks. During the 19th century political unrest affected the European Grand Tour, and many artists toured Britain instead. Wales became a popular destination, and Anglesey received the attention of these travelling artists. This exhibition presents a comprehensive collection of topographical views of Anglesey from the George Lees bequest and the Oriel’s collection.
