"Romersk" prospekt 1730 - 1793

"Romersk prospekt" is a pen and wash drawing by Danish artist Jens Petersen Lund, dating back to 1730-1793. The artwork depicts a picturesque Roman landscape, showcasing ruins and ancient architecture amidst lush greenery. Lund's delicate brushstrokes capture the crumbling beauty of the Roman aqueduct and surrounding buildings, creating a sense of historical grandeur and time's passage. This drawing is a fine example of Lund's talent for capturing the essence of European landscapes and architectural sites. Today, the artwork resides in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark, providing a glimpse into 18th-century artistic sensibilities and an appreciation for the enduring legacy of ancient Rome.
