Berglandschaft mit Schlössern 

Johann Nikolaus Gassner's "Berglandschaft mit Schlössern" is a captivating depiction of a mountain landscape with castles. The drawing, held at the Städel Museum, showcases Gassner's mastery of depicting a dramatic, almost fantastical scene with a focus on the interplay of light and shadow. The dark tones of the mountainous landscape create a sense of mystery and grandeur, enhanced by the cascading waterfall and the distant castles nestled within the cliffs. While the exact date of creation remains unknown, the drawing is likely from the 17th century and exemplifies the captivating allure of the Romanticism art movement.
