Focus on Salem (painting) and explore the History.
Vosper had found success as a watercolour painter before coming to Wales; he had exhibited work in galleries throughout England, at the Paris Salon and the Royal Academy in London. He was noted for his paintings of people, particularly the residents of Le Faouët in Brittany. Vosper's Welsh period began with his marriage to Constance James of Merthyr Tydfil in 1902, and ended after her death in 1910.
Vosper first saw Capel Salem in 1906, not long after the "Welsh Revival". He had already painted many famous images of prayer and piety in Brittany, and it would seem the chapel and its congregation inspired him in much the same way.
