About the piece
Created around 1750 by the English artist William Marlow, this oil painting offers an atmospheric view of Lyon. The composition centers on the rugged cliffs of the Château Pierre-Scize, juxtaposing the permanence of the historic stone architecture with the gentle movement of small boats on the river below, all rendered in a soft, airy palette characteristic of the period.
