DÜRER, Albrecht: The Castle at Trento

🖼 The Castle at Trento, 1495
Watercolour
198 × 257 cm
London, United Kingdom

Precise pen lines render the fortress in sharp detail, its angular towers and fortified walls commanding the composition against a delicate sky. Dürer's meticulous topographical study documents Renaissance military architecture while demonstrating northern European mastery of perspective and architectural draftsmanship during his Italian journey.
