Landschaft mit See und Rundturm 

Franz Kobell’s “Landschaft mit See und Rundturm” (Landscape with Lake and Round Tower) depicts a serene landscape with a winding river snaking through the valley. The scene features a small, round tower perched atop a cliff, adding a sense of grandeur and history. The work’s focus on the natural beauty of the landscape evokes the Romantic art movement, highlighting the power and awe of nature. The delicate details of the trees and water, rendered with subtle shading, contribute to the work's peaceful and tranquil ambiance. This pen and ink drawing from Kobell’s later years, now housed in the Städel Museum, is a prime example of his mastery in landscape art.
