About the piece
Painted around 1795 by Hendrik-Frans De Cort, this oil on panel depicts the impressive ruins of Chepstow Castle in Wales. The composition masterfully balances the massive stone architecture with a soft, atmospheric sky and small-scale human activity along the riverbank, capturing the late 18th-century fascination with historical ruins and the picturesque British landscape.
