City Ramparts is a 1885 ink by Maxime Lalanne, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a city rampart, with a stone wall and a gate in the center. The wall is made of rough-hewn stones, and the gate is arched and ornate. In the foreground, there are trees and bushes, and a person is walking along the wall. The scene is rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with attention to the textures of the stone and the foliage. The etching technique used to create the image adds a sense of depth and dimensionality to the scene. This image is reminiscent of the work of artists who specialized in etching, such as Rembrandt.
François Antoine Maxime Lalanne (November 27, 1827 – July 29, 1886) was a French artist known for his etchings and charcoal drawings (fusain).
