Background
The intriguing thing about this painting and the sketch that goes with it, is that it bears many similarities to Dunstanburgh castle in Northumberland in the UK. This opens up a host of alternative methods by which this painting could have been produced - remote viewing, inter composer communication with an artist already there............... as far as we know Frederic was too young to have visited this place, he lived in Bruges and Bruges is a very long way from Northumberland and requires a sea journey of course.
The photo above shows what it looks like now, but Frederic lived in the mid 1800s. He may even have been tapping in to a past life, as Delanne hypothesised, whose past life we do not know, but this artists reconstruction shows what the castle might have looked like a long time ago.
