EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the breathtaking view of Château d'Orgueil, also known as Mont Orgueil Castle, perched atop a rocky peak along the rugged coast of Jersey. Built between the years 1204 and 1450, this historic fortress stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Channel Islands. The painting, estimated to be from circa 1918, showcases the castle in all its glory, bathed in the soft, warm hues of a summer's day. The vibrant colors bring the castle to life, with its towering walls and crenellations standing proud against the clear blue sky. The tranquil waters of the English Channel lap gently at the castle's base, creating a striking contrast between the stillness of the water and the grandeur of the fortress. The castle's strategic location on a rocky peak, once a crucial defensive position, now offers a picturesque scene that has captured the imagination of artists and visitors alike. This print was published in a color magazine, likely in the June volume, and was created by the talented artist Hilda Clements Hassall. Hassall's masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail bring the castle to life, transporting the viewer to the shores of Jersey and allowing them to experience the beauty and history of this remarkable place.
