"Ville de Thun, Switzerland" is a mezzotint print by J.M.W. Turner from his *Liber Studiorum* series, created in 1816. It showcases Turner's masterful use of light and shadow, capturing the picturesque Thun Castle overlooking the town of Thun, Switzerland. The composition features a subtle interplay of foreground details, including figures on a pier, and the receding vista of the town nestled against the dramatic backdrop of the Swiss Alps. This print is a testament to Turner's artistic virtuosity in translating the grandeur of the natural world onto paper.
