About this work

This painting shows a towering castle perched on a rocky cliff. The walls are white with dark wooden roofs and pointed towers. A bridge connects part of the castle to a lower wall, and a few people are scattered below—one near a small hut, another by the water. The artist used bold contrasts between light and shadow to make the castle stand out. The rough texture of the rocks and the smoothness of the walls create a striking effect.
