John West

John West is a British Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Library of Wales.

English landscape painter of the early 1800s who put Aberglaslyn on canvas in oil around 1816, repeating the view twice. He zeroed in on the Welsh gorge’s rushing river, rocky slopes, and shifting light through trees. The two versions lock the same moment—one subtly cooler, the other warmer—letting you compare brushwork side by side. Tap Aberglaslyn to see both takes in one swipe.
