About the piece

Painted in 1841 by Anton Schiffer, this oil on canvas presents a sweeping view of Loket (historically Elbogen) in the Czech Republic. The composition highlights the town’s medieval castle perched on a rocky promontory, connected to the foreground by a grand suspension bridge spanning the river Eger, all set against a lush, hilly horizon under soft daylight.
