monument of Welsh art of that time is the Ricemarch Psalter. Until the 20th century, Welsh artists
found it difficult to find work in their homeland, many preferring to work in London or abroad.
This changed by 1865 when the Cardiff School of Art opened. At this time, a national school of
painting began to form in Wales, which gave impetus to the development of fine arts, and a
whole series of talented artists and sculptors appeared

more and more traditional in Welsh cuisine.
