🏰 Echoes of a Poetic Legend
This evocative Sculptural Watercolour® captures the atmospheric dungeon of Chillon Castle, Switzerland’s most famous fortress at the eastern end of Lake Geneva. The scene is intimately tied to Lord Byron’s 1816 visit, which inspired his legendary poem The Prisoner of Chillon.
🔗 A Tribute to François Bonivard and the Romantic Movement
The painting draws together the essential elements of the dungeon where François Bonivard was imprisoned for six years. It captures the stark beauty and haunting emotion that helped embed Lake Geneva into the soul of the Romantic Movement alongside Rousseau’s La Nouvelle Héloïse.
🎨 Prue Bishop’s Unique Sculptural Watercolour® Technique
Through layered watercolor and sculptural depth, this piece blurs the line between painting and sculpture, immersing the viewer in the solemn grandeur of Chillon’s most storied chamber.
