Each of the scenes depicted on these ice pails evokes a bucolic rural idyll situated around Medieval architecture. Monastere du Mont-serrat, or Montserrat Monastery in Catalonia, is a rugged and awe-inspiring Medieval complex abutting imposing sheer cliffs roughly 30 miles northwest of Barcelona. Northern Switzerland’s Château de dornach is a Medieval castle nestled atop a hill overlooking the town of Dornach, and near to Dornach-au-pont, a small village nearby. The Moorish Aqueduc près de L'alhambra in Spain remains an imposing engineering marvel on the horizon in Granada, built in the 13th century to carry water to the fortress of Alhambra. An ice cooler of the same form painted with landscapes of Switzerland is on long term loan to the Chateau de Nyon.
