The Lantern, Chateau de Chambord is a 1853 watercolor by John Burgess, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a grand stone building with two tall towers. One tower has a clock face and a spire, while the other is round with detailed carvings. The walls are rough and textured, with arched windows and a main entrance framed by columns. The artist used light pencil strokes to suggest shadows and depth. The drawing looks like a study of a real place, not a fantasy. The artist focused on how light hits the stone and the way the architecture stands out.
