"Alnwick Castle" is a 1747 painting by Venetian artist Canaletto depicting the imposing Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, England. Known for his meticulous vedute (cityscape views), Canaletto captures the castle's architectural grandeur, set against a verdant landscape with a winding river and figures going about their daily lives. This landscape painting, with its meticulous detail and atmospheric perspective, showcases the artist's masterful skill in capturing the essence of a specific place and time.
