About the piece

Painted by Jules-Romain Joyant around 1830, this architectural study captures the majestic presence of the Este Castle in Ferrara. The composition masterfully balances the heavy masonry of the ducal palace with the airy expansiveness of the Italian sky and the quiet, reflective waters of the canal.
