An artist has created a series of portraits depicting key Welsh historical figures.

To mark Owain Glyndŵr Day, Llanfyllin-based artist Dan Llywelyn Hall produced portraits of Owain Glyndŵr and figures from his court.

They were displayed at the Senedd in an event sponsored by Russell George MS.

Mr George opened the exhibition, highlighting the importance of Welsh history and showcasing local art in the Senedd.

Dan Llywelyn Hall discussed the project, 'Llys Glyndŵr and the court of Owain', before attendees heard poems by Robert Minhinnick, Menna Elfyn, and Laura Wainwright.

Aberystwyth University historian, Rhun Emlyn, gave a presentation on Owain Glyndŵr and his court's history.

Dan Llywelyn Hall also announced that his project 'Llys Glyndŵr' will be developed into a book with historical responses.

The event took place on Tuesday, September 17, following Owain Glyndŵr Day on Monday, September 16.

Mr George said: "It was great to be able to sponsor an event on behalf of local constituent Dan Llywellyn Hall. Dan is a talented artist, and his portraits of historical Welsh figures are incredible.

County Times:

"The event was well received and the mixture of art, poems and a history presentation were well received by the audience.

"Last year, I was pleased to take part in the unveiling of Dan Llywelyn Hall’s painting and depiction of Owain Glyndŵr.

"It was particularly special to unveil the painting at Sycharth, Llansilin, which was the home of Owain Glyndŵr which he later shared with his wife Margaret Hanmer and their eleven children. This year was just as special, being able to bring a Montgomeryshire based artists work into the Senedd was a privilege.

"It's important that we protect our heritage sites and ensure accessibility to these historical sites so the people of Wales can learn more about our Welsh history, in particular access to Sycarth."
