<p>Dolbadern Castle was one of Turner's favourite Welsh motifs. The distinctive round keep of the Norman castle stands on a rocky promontory at the edge of  Lake Llanberis.</p><p>The visual impact of Dolbadern was not the only fascination for Turner. He was also interested in the broader historical associations of the castle. It was thought to be the place where a Welsh prince  was imprisoned by his own brother for over twenty years. The perfect stillness  of the lake and sky lend an ethereal quality to this study.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2002</em></p>
