Dunstanborough Castle, plate 14 from Liber Studiorum Possibly 1808

"Dunstanborough Castle" is a mezzotint print by J. M. W. Turner, part of his "Liber Studiorum" series. The print depicts the ruined Dunstanborough Castle in Northumberland, England, set against a dramatic, yet muted, landscape. Turner's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the castle's imposing presence on the rocky coastline. This print, likely created around 1808, showcases Turner's early mastery of mezzotint, a printing technique that allowed for a wide range of tonal values. It's now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
