A view in Radnorshire

JONES, Thomas

Here Jones concentrates on the lines of broken clouds, dappling the fields with the flash of sun. As early as 1772, Thomas Jones was painting oil sketches outdoors around his home in Radnorshire. This technique was revolutionary by the standards of the day, when almost all oil painting was carried out indoors, from studies. This sketch probably dates from 1776, the year of Jones's departure for Italy. Freed from the constraints of painting to please the public, such private studies allowed him to develop a more direct and instinctive response to nature.

Creation/Production

JONES, Thomas

1742-1803 Thomas Jones, a pupil of Richard Wilson, came from a wealthy landowning family in Radnorshire. During his lifetime he was known as a painter of landscapes and history paintings in the style of his master, but today he is better known for his oil sketches of Italy and Wales. Daeth Thomas Jones, oedd yn un o ddisgyblion Richard Wilson, o deulu o dirfeddiannwyr cyfoethog yn Sir Faesyfed. Yn ystod ei fywyd cafodd ei adnabod fel peintiwr tirluniau a pheintiadau hanesyddol yn null ei feistr, ond heddiw mae’n fwy adnabyddus am ei frasluniau olew o’r Eidal a Chymru
