EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Chateau de Pierrefonds" painted by Pierre Justin Ouvrie in 1869. The Chateau de Pierrefonds, located in Barnard Castle, County Durham, UK, is a magnificent medieval castle that has stood the test of time. Originally built between 1392 and 1407 by Louis d Orleans, brother of Charles VI, this grand structure later passed into the hands of poet Charles d Orleans. However, it fell into disrepair and was dismantled in 1617, becoming a picturesque ruin. In the mid-19th century, under Napoleon's orders, the chateau was meticulously reconstructed to its former glory. This painting beautifully captures its romantic allure with its towering turrets and majestic towers overlooking the tranquil River Aisne. "The Chateau de Pierrefonds" evokes a sense of awe and wonder as one imagines the rich history that unfolded within its walls. Its medieval architecture transports us back in time to an era filled with knights and damsels. Displayed at The Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle since then (year), this oil on canvas masterpiece continues to captivate visitors from around the world. It serves as a reminder of both human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with castles as symbols of power and beauty. This print allows us to appreciate Pierre Justin Ouvrie's skillful brushwork while also immersing ourselves in the timeless charm of "The Chateau de Pierrefonds. "
