Llangennith Panorama is a large work by John Nash and presents a sweeping view of the countryside and coast in this favoured part of the Gower Penninsula, South Wales. The artist was consistently drawn to locations of outstanding beauty and first visited the area in 1939 with his wife, who assisted him in finding suitable locations to paint. In the present work Nash depicts a pleasing and suitably complex arrangement of agricultural buildings in the immediate foreground, flanked by a tall, bare tree, which allows for a detailed study of the partitioned fields in the middle ground with their subtle variance of colour and shape. This leads into the protective dunes of Rhossili Bay, with the tidal island of Burry Holms just visible to the right, that give way to the vast expanse of sea that is shrouded in capably handled cloud cover and delicate light. The observation of a 'working countryside' and the natural landscape were important to Nash who juxtaposes them to great effect in Llangennith Panorama.
