Title

Caernarfon Castle

The Welsh castles of Edward 1, especially the last four,( including Conwey, Harlech and Beaumaris ) became renowned throughout Europe as masterpieces of military architecture and engineering. They used every refinement of defence evolved in England, Europe and even the Middle East during years of siege and warfare. The castles have been quoted as being 'magnificent emblems of our subjection',
but the fact that so much resource was put into their making also indicate at the resilience of the native Welsh people who were not ready to live under such oppression.

Art is deliverance, even in suffering. But to those outcasts who do not appreciate freedom of thought, art is a crime.

Greatness lies in conception, in the eye, the heart, and the hand of the artist, and not in the geometric dimensions of the work.

Blessed artist, even if your art is one of misfortune, pick up your load and move along on your pilgrimage, following any road.

Georges Rouault.
