Architectural Antiquities of Normandy (Vol. II), Pl. 66: Tower of the Church of Tréport, near Eu is a 1821 by John Sell Cotman, a Romanticism work, depicting Grote Kerk, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a detailed tower of a church in Normandy. It's interesting because the artist focused on the architecture, drawing attention to the old stones and the way the light hits them. The detail in the stones and the surrounding landscape shows the artist's skill. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
