Turner Bequest CCLIX 170
Display caption
Just upstream of Treis travellers on the Mosel enjoy a very beautiful view of Burg Treis, situated on a conical hill at the entrance of two side-valleys (no.71). They then reach Treis itself (no.72) which lies almost opposite Karden (no.73). The atmosphere of all three studies is cloudy, misty or vaporous, evoking a fresher and more pensive mood than that of the Mosel scenes drenched in sunlight.
