Literature
K. Campbell, Moon Behind Clouds: An Introduction to the life and work of Sir Claude Francis Barry, Jersey, 1999, p. 99, no. 94, illustrated

'Throughout his life, Barry depicted the castles, fortresses and chateaux of whatever country he happened to be in. The solidity of these massive constructions against the fluid background of trees, water and sky allowed him to experiment with colour, tone and perspective. His treatise on painting devotes a whole chapter to the subject.' (K. Campbell, Moon Behind Clouds: An Introduction to the life and work of Sir Claude Francis Barry, Jersey, 1999, p. 98)
