Friedrich Salathé’s “Ruins of a Fortified Tower among Wooded Hills” is a romantic landscape painting. Completed between 1816 and 1821, the watercolor depicts a crumbling tower nestled among forested hills. Salathé’s work is known for its attention to detail, seen in the lush greenery and the weathered stone of the tower. The soft light and hazy atmosphere create a sense of melancholic beauty, evocative of the passage of time and the decay of past glories.
