"Chaucer's Tower Near Benham," an 1806 etching by Antoine Philippe d'Orléans, depicts the ruins of a medieval tower, likely dating back to the 14th century. This evocative image, housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, captures the romantic appeal of historical architecture. d'Orléans was a prominent figure in French art during the late 18th century, known for his architectural prints. His depiction of Chaucer's Tower exemplifies the evolving fascination with historic structures and the rise of landscape drawing as a significant art form.
