Knights Castle 1980

"Knights Castle" is a 1980 etching by Rudolf Láng (1904-1991), depicting a knight on horseback riding past a crumbling castle. The print is rendered in a soft, romantic style, with muted tones and delicate lines. The composition is dominated by the large, imposing castle, and the knight is depicted in the foreground, his form rendered with a sense of movement and urgency. The work's soft and delicate style, as well as its subject matter, point to a romanticized view of chivalry and a medieval past.
