"Die Galluswarte zu Frankfurt am Main" is a watercolor painting by Anton Radl, a German artist born in 1774, that depicts a medieval tower. The tower, known as the Galluswarte, was located in Frankfurt am Main and was a watchtower for the city's defense. Radl's realistic depiction captures the tower's age and the surrounding landscape. The painting includes figures in the foreground and a glimpse of the city beyond the tower, creating a sense of scale and historical context. It is currently housed in the Städel Museum. This painting serves as a glimpse into the history and architecture of Frankfurt, showcasing Radl's skill as a landscape artist.
