About the piece
Painted in 1772, this work by William Marlow captures a serene view of a castle on the Rhône River. The composition masterfully balances the architectural elements of the cliffside fortress and the arched bridge with the soft, atmospheric light of the French countryside, characteristic of the topographical views popular during the Grand Tour.
