From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Ruines du Chateau de Bouzols Pres du Puy en Delay is a 1831 ink by Eugène Isabey, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a crumbling castle clinging to a rocky cliff. In the foreground, a broken column lies half-buried, and a small village with simple houses sits below the ruins. The sky is light, with soft clouds, and the whole scene looks worn by time. The title says this is the Château de Bouzols near Puy en Velay. The artist used a sketchy, almost ghostly style to show decay. Next, check out lithography to see how this image was made.
Eugène Louis Gabriel Isabey (French pronunciation: ; 22 July 1803 – 25 April 1886) was a French painter, lithographer and watercolorist in the Romantic style.
