Description:
A British artist who, carried away by the story of Richard the Lionheart, presents the castle of Kantara as the castle of Richard. In fact, King Richard never used the castle but chased there and fought against Isaac Comnenos, the ruler of the island. Nevertheless, the art work radiates with colour and atmospheric effect and presents an unusual aspect of the castle.
