About the Work

Eduard Wilhelm Pose was one of the artists of the so-called Düsseldorf school of painting in the nineteenth century. Various journeys to Italy inspired him to create realistic, lifelike landscapes, of which this work is one. Pose produced this study in the open air directly in front of the motif, with the southern light transforming the rugged medieval castle into an illuminated setting.
