The Fountain of Vaucluse isa small village in the south of France, well known for the impressive source of the river Sorgue. The middle-age poet Petrarcus did lived there and composed some of his most famous writing in this place.
The castle istelf did belong to the Bishop of Cavaillon, in the place where an antique bishop, Saint Veranus, defeated a dragon.
More recently, archeolgist found thousands of Vth century golden pieces as a tresaure in the source. Definitively a D&D place...

Most definitely inspiration stuff, both the image and the history. Thanks Nico. :-)
Thanks for posting. That's a beautiful piece of work.
It is odd that B2 contains neither a dungeon nor a dragon...
No dragon, but the dungeon = Caves of Chaos.
Lots of great inspirational paintings in the blogosphere today (Frazetta, Pasini), but this one came out as my favorite. I need to get downtown and have another good, long look at it.
Fantastic! I showed this to my wife, who happens to be teaching a course on 19th century American Art this fall. She hadn't seen this painting before, but said it was recognizable as a Cole. He is mostly associated with American landscapes but did study abroad in Europe for several years, including in 1841 when this was painted.
That indeed is inspirational. I shall have to use that in my current game as my kids venture forth into the Keep. Thanks! Great blog, btw. Just came here from link I found via facebook and the Original Dungeons & Dragons group.
I like the Painting but given the extensive size - the Caves of Chaos are more likely to be the Dungeons beneath it.
its a great full blog

It may seem like all buildings have the same kind of roof, this commonly isn’t the case. Residential roofs and commercial roofs are usually quite different. The first thing that makes a Commercial Roofing Companies in Nashville different from the residential one is its design. The commercial roofs have flat designs and are typically not visible to the passersby on the street. Their slopes are very slight only to ensure proper water drainage. This is why they are commonly referred to as low slope roofing. Residential Roofing Dallas Tx is usually done by focusing upon its decorative and aesthetic purposes. Residential roofings have greater slopes, they are more visible to the people passing by the property on the road. They are made in a way that makes them attractive and more appealing to the public. They are easier to install and do not take much time to be inspected.
