1832
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Château de Larderole is a 1832 by Eugène Isabey, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet valley with a castle perched on a hill in the distance. In the foreground, two people sit near a small stone cross, while a tall cross stands behind them. The sky is dramatic, with thick clouds and a hint of stormy weather. A winding path leads through fields and past a few small buildings. The title at the bottom reads *Château de Larderole*, which is the name of the castle in the scene. The artist used shading to make the clouds and shadows look almost three-dimensional. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark to create depth.
Eugène Louis Gabriel Isabey (French pronunciation: ; 22 July 1803 – 25 April 1886) was a French painter, lithographer and watercolorist in the Romantic style.
