EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lisbon - Castle of Balem, 1850" takes us back to the enchanting city of Lisbon in the mid-19th century. Artist Frank Dillon skillfully captures a breathtaking view of the Castle of Balem against a backdrop of boats and the setting sun. The warm hues and vibrant colors bring this historical scene to life. The Castle of Balem stands tall as a symbol of strength and fortification, overlooking the sparkling waters below. Its ancient walls tell tales from centuries past, evoking a sense of mystery and grandeur. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time to an era when castles were not just architectural marvels but also strategic strongholds. The sun hangs low in the sky, casting its golden glow across the sea and illuminating every detail with its gentle rays. This celestial alignment adds an ethereal touch to an already picturesque landscape. Boats dotting the water transport us into a world where maritime trade was thriving, connecting distant lands through commerce and exploration. They serve as reminders that transportation by sea has always been integral to human civilization. As we admire this stunning seascape captured on canvas with oil paints, it is impossible not to appreciate both nature's beauty and mankind's ingenuity in creating such magnificent structures like the Castle of Balem. This artwork serves as a window into history—a testament to our fascination with geography, science, astronomy, and transportation throughout time.
