The Castle at Bentheim Art Print

In c. 1650, Ruisdeal visited the village of Bentheim, in the German province of Westphalia near the border with Holland. He made at least fourteen paintings of the castle, of which this view is the most imposing. He has exaggerated the castle's location: in reality, it is not situated on a prominence. He has also emphasised the power of nature to create what is regarded as one of his masterpieces, painted at the age of twenty-four.

National Gallery of Ireland Art Prints are the perfect way to have your own masterpiece. Printed on high quality 240gsm Satin paper using Epson Ultrachrome Archival inks, each print have a stated light fastness and image permanence of up to, at least 75 years. In order to preserve the image and prevent unnecessary fading, the print should not be exposed to direct sunlight and its UV rays.
