1776
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Views of Warwick Castle: Caesar's ower and Part of Warwick Castle from the Island is a 1776 by Paul Sandby, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a castle with a tall, round tower and a long, low building beside it. In front, a river flows past a small waterwheel and a bridge. Trees line the riverbank, and a few people walk near the water. The sky is light with soft clouds, and everything looks drawn in careful lines. The title at the bottom says it’s Warwick Castle, seen from an island. The artist made it look like a quiet, peaceful place, even though castles were usually busy and loud.
