<p>The tall cylindrical tower of Burg Bischofstein, which stands on a rugged ridge rising steeply from the Mosel, is one of the most arresting sights on the entire river and is visible for a considerable distance. It is also a far more forbidding castle than any other on the Mosel, being built of very dark stone. Turner's colour harmonies and handling here are both reminiscent of those used in nos.71-73.</p><p><em>Gallery label, August 1991</em></p>
