Description: This
is the largest of Turner's four extant watercolors
of this medieval castle on the northern coast of
Wales. Turner portrays the landscape and ocean in
a dramatic fashion, using angry clouds, sunshine,
and roiling waves to animate the scene and emphasize
the struggle of the fishermen.
