Williams, William (ca. 1710-ca. 1790)
Thunderstorm with the Death of Amelia. 1784. This 'Sublime' landscape subject illustrates an episode in 'Summer' from James Thomson's cycle of poems 'The Seasons', first published in 1730. The passage describes the romance between Amelia and Celadon whose lovers' stroll ends in tragedy when they are caught in a violent storm and Amelia is struck dead by lightning. The scene of the disaster is set in Caernarvonshire, Wales, with the peak of Snowdon visible in the distance. Oil on canvas, 635 x 1019 mm. Purchased 1962 (T00519).
