Burcht in de woestijn 1890 - 1930

"Burcht in de woestijn" is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Philip Zilcken, created between 1890 and 1930. It depicts a medieval-style fortress, rendered in a detailed and realistic style, with a desolate desert landscape in the foreground. Zilcken, known for his landscapes and architectural subjects, captures the stark beauty of the desert environment and the imposing presence of the fort. The painting is a fine example of Zilcken's meticulous technique and his interest in capturing the details of historical architecture. The watercolor is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
