Château de Chenonceau is a 1865 by Maxime Lalanne, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a grand castle sitting on a bridge over a river. The building has tall, pointed towers and lots of windows. In front, there’s a small boat on the water, and the shore has bushes and trees. The artist focused on the castle’s details, like the arches under the bridge and the sharp rooftops. This style matches the way artists in the 1800s drew real places carefully. Next, check out Realism to see how artists like this one captured everyday scenes.
