"Die Burg Chinon und das Ufer der Vienne" is a drawing by German artist Hermann Lismann, currently housed in the Städel Museum. The drawing depicts a picturesque view of the Chinon Castle, a medieval fortress built on a hilltop, with the Vienne river in the foreground. The castle, standing tall against the cloudy sky, is a prominent feature of the composition, while the town below is nestled at the base of the hill. The artist’s use of ink and wash creates a sense of atmospheric depth, emphasizing the monumental presence of the castle. The artwork is a notable example of landscape drawing, capturing the architectural and natural beauty of Chinon.
