Peter Prendergast was one of Britain’s foremost landscape painters. Inspired by the surroundings of his Snowdonia home, his bold expressionist paintings are noted for their vigour and energy. Cold Mid-Winter’s Day depicts the steep valleys of his Welsh homeland that were slowly transformed by slate quarrying during his lifetime.
