"Gordale Scar (1811–1813)" is a monumental painting by the British artist James Ward, who was renowned for his works as an animal painter and for his romantic depictions of the British landscape. The painting measures an impressive 132 inches by 156 inches, showcasing Ward's ambition to create works of grand scale and impact. It depicts Gordale Scar, a dramatic limestone ravine located near Malham in the Yorkshire Dales, England. The Scar itself is a natural wonder, formed by water erosion and characterized by its sheer cliffs and unique geological formations.

In this work, Ward captures the sublime and awe-inspiring nature of the landscape, a theme that was central to the Romantic movement of the time. The painting is characterized by its detailed rendering of the rock textures, the play of light and shadow, and the dynamic portrayal of water cascading through the ravine. The inclusion of figures within the landscape, dwarfed by the towering cliffs, serves to emphasize the scale and grandeur of the natural world, a common motif in Romantic art.

James Ward was inspired by the works of his contemporaries, such as George Stubbs and J.M.W. Turner, and "Gordale Scar" is often compared to the latter's dramatic landscapes. Ward's painting was created during a period when there was a growing appreciation for the British countryside, and it reflects the cultural and artistic interests of the era.

"Gordale Scar" is considered one of James Ward's masterpieces and is a significant contribution to the canon of British Romantic landscape painting. It is held in high esteem for its technical excellence, emotive power, and as an exemplar of the artist's skill in capturing the sublime beauty of the natural world. The painting is part of the collection of the Tate Britain in London, where it continues to be admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
