Catalogue entry

Here Turner depicts the mountainous Carlsbad region of Bohemia, now modern day Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic. The village of Andelská Hora (known in German as Engelhaus) can be seen at centre left, at the foot of a hill crowned by a ruined castle. This a fourteenth century stronghold built by local nobility and destroyed in the Thirty Years’ War. A separate sketch of the castle is rendered in the sky. Turner has inscribed the sketch ‘Engelhouse’ at right.
