Landscape: Evening, River Scene with a Castle is a 1754 oil by Richard Wilson, a Rococo painting work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting depicts a serene evening scene by a river, with a castle situated on a hill in the background. The river flows gently, reflecting the fading light of day. In the foreground, trees and foliage are silhouetted against the soft, golden sky. A small boat is visible on the river, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of peacefulness, with the warm colors of the setting sun casting a gentle glow over the landscape.
