A castle on a wooded hill above a river valley is a scene that recurs across Europe, where many fortresses were built on high ground to watch over trade routes and river crossings. Many of these castles dated to the medieval period and were later repaired, altered, or romanticized, and by the 19th century they had become favorite subjects for painters and travelers seeking picturesque views. The scene itself has no obvious link to Thanksgiving, the occasion under which it is grouped here, so the castle and its landscape are the best guide to what the picture shows.
