Bronze Age Gold from Wales
Self portrait on Garnedd Dafydd
Brenda Chamberlain was a passionate writer and artist. At the time of painting this self-portrait, she had settled in the mountains of north Wales in pursuit of a quiet and creative life. This carefully constructed image shows a purposeful and strong-minded woman, determined to make her way as an artist. Both the assertive front-facing pose and the misty landscape background are derived from Renaissance paintings.
