Festung Hohenwerfen Watercolor

Rising from a rocky promontory above the Salzach valley in the Salzburg Alps, Festung Hohenwerfen is one of Austria's most commanding medieval fortresses — its towers and battlements surveying the surrounding mountains with an authority unchanged since the 11th century. Built as a stronghold of the Archbishops of Salzburg, the fortress has stood witness to centuries of Alpine history, its silhouette as dramatic today as it was in the Middle Ages. In this watercolor, Zachary Zleetni captures the fortress in its full alpine grandeur, luminous washes of color bringing the ancient stone to life against the vast mountain sky. A piece that carries the power and romance of the Salzburg Alps into your home.
