About this work

Ten Compe painted topographical renderings in a precise, clear style that was inspired by the work of his 17th-century predecessors Gerrit Berckheyde and Jan van der Heyden. Like them, he depicted his subjects from various angles. This painting shows a side view of the ruins of Berckenrode Castle.
