Burg Eltz Castle Sits Perched Between the Forest in This Wall Art Print
There is a particular quality to the way Burg Eltz sits in its landscape — not simply standing in the forest, as so many castles stand in their settings, but perched above it, rising from the rocky spur of the Elzbach valley with a confidence and a presence that makes it seem less like a building and more like a natural feature of the hillside, something that has grown from the rock and the soil and the ancient woodland over the eight centuries of its existence rather than been placed there by human hands. The forest presses in on all sides — the dense, ancient, deciduous woodland of the Moselle valley rising up the hillsides around the castle with a completeness that makes the whole scene feel enclosed and secret and discovered, as though you have stumbled upon something that the rest of the world has not yet found, a hidden place of extraordinary beauty and extraordinary age that the trees have been quietly guarding for centuries. Not far from the Rhine river, in a side valley of the Moselle that the main roads bypass entirely, Burg Eltz rewards the effort of finding it with a sight that is unlike anything else in Germany — the castle perched between the trees with a rightness and a beauty that makes the whole composition feel inevitable, as though the forest and the castle have always belonged to each other, have always been part of the same extraordinary landscape. This photography print captures that extraordinary perched quality with remarkable fidelity — a piece of wall art that brings the full, romantic, fairy-tale beauty of Burg Eltz rising above its forest into any room, and a home decor statement and artwork that is bold, atmospheric, and deeply evocative of the extraordinary medieval heritage of the Moselle valley.
One of our photographic prints of Germany: The stunning Burg Eltz sits in a valley among a beautiful forest not far from the Rhine river, this is my favorite castle to date I have seen in Germany, I just love the way the castle sits among those trees, this was shot on my recent 2018 European road trip. The extraordinary way Burg Eltz perches between the trees — its towers and turrets rising above the forest canopy with a drama and a beauty that the surrounding woodland only intensifies and enriches — makes this one of the most distinctive and most atmospheric of all the Burg Eltz compositions in the collection, and this fine art photography print captures that quality with a richness and a clarity that makes it one of the most giftable and most evocative European castle prints available. Whether you are drawn to the extraordinary perched quality of Burg Eltz above its forest, the romantic beauty of the Moselle valley woodland landscape, or simply the bold, warm, atmospheric power of this fine art German castle composition, this makes a truly exceptional gift for anyone who loves Germany, European travel, or the great medieval castles of the Rhine and Moselle valleys.
