Citadel at Namur n.d.

"Citadel at Namur" is a pencil drawing by George Arthur Fripp that captures the imposing Citadel of Namur, Belgium, a fortress overlooking the Meuse River. The artist's delicate lines suggest the city's historical significance and strategic importance, while the presence of a bridge and small boat in the foreground emphasizes the river's role in the region's transportation and commerce. The drawing's subtle details and atmospheric quality create a sense of place, inviting viewers to imagine the bustling city life within the citadel's walls. This work, now part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, exemplifies Fripp's keen eye for architectural detail and his skill in capturing the essence of a place through simple yet effective lines.
