Gezicht op Windsor Castle 1878

Sir Francis Seymour Haden's "Gezicht op Windsor Castle" (1878) is a striking etching that captures the majestic Windsor Castle, a royal residence in England. From a vantage point on the river Thames, the artist portrays the castle as a dominant figure against a backdrop of rolling hills and a river teeming with boats. Haden, renowned for his precise etching technique, masterfully depicts the textures of the river, the vegetation, and the imposing architecture of the castle, creating a harmonious and detailed composition. The etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Haden's artistic mastery and the enduring beauty of Windsor Castle.
