Albrecht Dürer's "The Castle at Trento" from 1495 is a watercolor depicting a fortified castle in Trento, Italy. The artist, known for his detailed and realistic representations, showcases the castle's imposing structure with towers, walls, and a gateway. The composition emphasizes the castle's dominance over the surrounding landscape, capturing the architectural details and the surrounding village in a clear and meticulous manner. Now housed in the British Museum, the artwork reflects Dürer's early exploration of landscape painting.
