Cadair Idris, or to use its anglicised title of Cader Idris, derives its name meaning 'Chair of Idris' from the giant warrior poet of Welsh legend. The mountain looms menacing and primaeval over the surrounding landscape. Cadair Idris consists of a massive 11km long ridge and although only the 19th highest mountain in Wales, is the second most popular mountain in the country after Mount Snowdon.
A fine and elegant example of Alfred de Breanski's work which beautifully catches the breathtaking force of the mountain. Signed and dated 1884.
Acquired from a private client - the family had owned this painting for over three generations.
