Vivienne Roche asked

I am making an artwork based on the Lime Tree watercolour and I want to know if the bastion still exists in Burgberg, Nuremberg. Thank you
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

Dear Vivienne, It is interesting that you are making an artwork based on this drawing. Your question though is not very art specific and to be honest I had to look this up on the internet to be sure. The bastion is part of the old city walls. You can find a photograph here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nuremberg_defensive_wall_north_f_burggarten_bastion_f_w.jpg I hope this information is helpful. Good luck with your work, Els.

Thank you. Your question has been submitted.
