Landscape with a Castle. Victor Hugo (French, 1802 - 1885) 1857 This sheet depicts a landscape with a castle perched on a rocky outcropping that is rich in its layered technique and ambiguous in its meaning. Made on the British Channel Island of Guernsey, as inscribed on the lower right of the sheet, the drawing was executed during the artists exile from France. Hugo used charcoal to create a smoky black atmosphere, pen and ink and wash to define the castles outlines, white gouache to accentuate the highlights, and a stencil to make the church and the other silhouetted buildings. As was typical for the drawings he made in exile, Hugo submerged himself in the study of the natural and supernatural to create a fantastical scene with dramatic chiaroscuro effects. The dark sky that washes over the scene creates a haunting image that exemplifies Hugos Romantic poetic vision.

Italian Sketchbook Sanford Robinson Gifford (American, 1823-1880). Italian Sketchbook, 1867-1868. Graphite on tan, medium-weight, slightly textured wove paper, 5 x 9 x 7/16 in. (12.7 x 22.9 x 1.1 cm). This sketchbook served as a travel diary for the Hudson River School landscape painter Sanford Robinson Gifford during his journeys in France, Switzerland, and Italy. In this two-page spread depicting the church of Santa Caterina del Sasso, perched precariously on the edge of a cliff overlooking Lake Maggiore in Italy, Giffords precise and assured lines exemplify his skills as a draftsman. A practitioner of plein air sketching, the artist used these drawings as preparatory studies for paintings executed later in his studio. The small framed motifs that appear on this and other pages of the sketchbook show his initial experiments with composition. American Art 1867-1868
