Vue de Thun du Cote du Midi

Französische Grafik 1775–1780, probably 1776

The image shows a scenic view of Thun with a perspective looking towards a medieval town. The horizon is high, showcasing the town's buildings and castle above the landscape. Delicate and precise brushstrokes highlight details in the architecture and foliage. A bridge crosses a calm body of water reflecting the structures and sky. Tree-lined banks lead to the town in the distance. The color palette is soft and harmonious, with muted pastels and earthy tones. The sky is pale blue with hints of pink and grey.
