Gabriel Beranger painted Rathfarnham Castle in watercolor. The scene shows the castle’s entrance with trees behind it. In the front, a woman and man walk through the grounds. This work stands out for its soft colors and clear details. Watercolor lets Beranger show light and shadow in a way that photographs couldn’t then. The figures add life without taking focus from the building. Try looking up Beranger, Gabriel, ca.1729-1817 next.
