1856
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Chateau of Chenonceau is a 1856 by Charles Meryon, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a castle with tall towers and steep roofs. The building sits on a bridge with three arches below. The walls are dark, and the windows are small and rectangular. The water under the bridge looks rough and choppy. The artist focused on the castle’s sharp lines and shadows. This style was common in the mid-1800s. Look up Realism to see more works like this.
Charles Meryon (sometimes Méryon, 23 November 1821 – 14 February 1868) was a French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he had colour blindness.
