"Ruins of Llanthony Abbey" is a painting by the British artist William Hodges, who is known for his work as a landscape painter and for his association with Captain James Cook's second voyage to the Pacific Ocean. Hodges' painting captures the remains of Llanthony Priory, a former Augustinian priory located in the secluded Vale of Ewyas, within the Black Mountains region of Wales.

The artwork is a fine example of Hodges' skill in depicting architectural ruins within a romantic and picturesque landscape, a popular theme in the 18th century that reflected contemporary interest in the sublime and the pastoral. Painted in oil on canvas, "Ruins of Llanthony Abbey" is characterized by its atmospheric use of light and shadow, which imbues the scene with a sense of melancholic beauty and reflects the Romantic era's fascination with decay and the passage of time.

William Hodges (1744–1797) was a significant figure in the development of British landscape painting, and his works often convey a deep appreciation for the natural world and its historical connections. "Ruins of Llanthony Abbey" not only showcases Hodges' artistic talents but also serves as a historical document, preserving the appearance of the medieval ruins before subsequent restoration efforts.

The painting is notable for its historical and cultural value, providing insight into the aesthetic sensibilities of the period as well as the enduring allure of monastic ruins as subjects for art. It remains an important work within Hodges' oeuvre and contributes to the broader understanding of British landscape painting in the late 18th century.
