"Ruins of the Chateau de Robert-le-Diable" is a notable watercolor painting by the English artist John Sell Cotman, created in the early 19th century. Cotman, a prominent figure in the Norwich School of painters, is renowned for his landscape and architectural subjects, and this particular work exemplifies his mastery in capturing the romantic allure of historical ruins.

The painting depicts the remnants of the Chateau de Robert-le-Diable, a medieval fortress located in Normandy, France. The chateau, which translates to "Castle of Robert the Devil," is steeped in legend and is said to have been built by Robert I, Duke of Normandy, who was reputedly known as "Robert the Devil" due to his fierce and formidable nature. Cotman's rendering of the chateau's ruins is imbued with a sense of mystery and nostalgia, characteristic of the Romantic era's fascination with the sublime and the picturesque.

Cotman's technique in this watercolor is particularly noteworthy. He employs a delicate yet expressive use of washes to convey the texture and weathered appearance of the stone ruins. The interplay of light and shadow is skillfully managed to enhance the dramatic effect of the scene, while the surrounding landscape is rendered with a subtle, almost ethereal quality that complements the ancient structure. The composition is balanced and harmonious, drawing the viewer's eye towards the central subject while allowing the natural elements to frame and accentuate the ruins.

"Ruins of the Chateau de Robert-le-Diable" reflects Cotman's deep appreciation for architectural heritage and his ability to evoke the historical and emotional resonance of his subjects. This work not only highlights Cotman's technical prowess but also his sensitivity to the evocative power of ruins, making it a significant piece within his oeuvre and within the broader context of Romantic landscape painting.
