About this work

This painting shows a fortress by a calm body of water. The castle has three tall towers with dark roofs and light stone walls. Trees and bushes grow around the base, and the sky above is partly cloudy with soft blues and whites. The brushstrokes are thick in places, especially on the water and sky, giving it a textured look. The colors are muted but warm, with greens and browns blending into the stone and greenery. Look up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint like this.
