EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the haunting beauty of Llanthony Priory, nestled in the secluded Vale of Ewyas within the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales. The former Augustinian priory, dating back to the 12th century, stands as a testament to centuries of history and spirituality.
The atmospheric ruins of Llanthony Priory evoke a sense of mystery and timelessness, with its crumbling walls and overgrown courtyards telling stories of monks who once walked these hallowed grounds. The steep-sided valley surrounding the priory adds to its dramatic setting, making it a truly awe-inspiring sight.
As you gaze upon this image from the early 20th century, you can almost feel the presence of those who lived and worshipped here long ago. The Black Mountains loom in the background, casting shadows over the ancient stones and adding to the sense of grandeur that surrounds this historic site.
Llanthony Priory is not just a ruin – it is a symbol of resilience and endurance, standing firm against the passage of time. This print by Grenville Collins captures all that makes this Welsh landmark so special, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its rich history and ethereal beauty.
