Conway Castle is a watercolor painting by Paul Sandby, an influential British artist known for his pivotal role in the development of the watercolor landscape. Created in 1771, the artwork depicts the medieval Conway Castle, located in Conwy, Wales, a subject that reflects Sandby's fascination with British landscapes and historical structures. The painting is notable for its detailed rendering of the castle's ruins and its picturesque setting, which exemplifies the 18th-century aesthetic movement known as the Picturesque – an aesthetic ideal that embraced the charming, rustic, and often irregular aspects of nature and architecture.

Paul Sandby (1731–1809), often called the father of English watercolor painting, was a founding member of the Royal Academy and is celebrated for his topographical and landscape works. His depictions of British scenery contributed significantly to the appreciation of the domestic landscape during a period when the Grand Tour and its focus on European vistas were in vogue among the British elite.

Conway Castle is part of a series of Welsh landscapes produced by Sandby after his tours of Wales in the 1770s. These works were instrumental in popularizing views of the Welsh countryside and its heritage, influencing both the art of landscape painting and the burgeoning tourism industry in Britain. Sandby's approach to landscape was innovative for its time, combining close observation with a picturesque composition, which allowed him to capture the character and mood of the location while still appealing to contemporary aesthetic sensibilities.

The painting is characterized by its atmospheric effects, attention to texture and light, and the inclusion of figures that offer a sense of scale and animate the scene. Sandby's skillful use of watercolor allows for both precision in architectural details and a sense of spontaneity in the portrayal of natural elements. Conway Castle by Paul Sandby is held in high regard for its historical value and its contribution to the development of British landscape painting, and it remains an important work within the canon of 18th-century British art.
