Additional information
This painting is one of three surviving parts of a large four part narrative painting called the Pentitent’s Vision set in the Conwy Valley, north Wales. It combines a truthful description of nature with overt Christian mysticism. It was rejected by the Royal Academy in 1865, which led Whaite to cut the work up into four pieces in 1883 and rework them.
