1824
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Tour aux Archives à Vernon is a 1824 ink by Richard Parkes Bonington, a Romanticism work, depicting Tower, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a tall stone tower with a steep roof, next to an arched doorway. The building stands by a river with boats and buildings behind it. The sky is clear with just a few clouds. Bonington made this while living in France, even though he was English. He often drew old towers and castles. The lines are sharp and the shadows soft, making it feel both real and dreamy. Check out more of Bonington’s work at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Richard Parkes Bonington (25 October 1802 – 23 September 1828) was an English Romantic landscape painter.
