• Resumen

  • At the end of 1959, the engraver, painter, and poet David Jones began working on one of the masterpieces of his career, Trystan ac Essyllt (National Museum and Galleries of Wales, Cardiff). In this painting, Jones expresses his hopeless infatuation with Valerie Wynne-Williams, a woman he had met 18 months earlier who was 30 years younger than he, recently married, and who had gone to live with her husband in Wales. The writer discusses the process of creating the work.
