Adrian Zingg’s “View of Castle Sachsenburg” depicts the imposing castle nestled amongst rolling hills and a flowing river. This 18th-century Swiss artist, known for his landscapes, masterfully uses tonal variation to create depth and distance. The castle, dominant in the composition, is rendered with meticulous detail. The foreground features figures in a scene of daily life, providing a human scale to the imposing landscape.
