Bruxelles efter bombadementet i 1695 1695 - 1795

Augustin Coppens's "Bruxelles efter bombadementet i 1695" depicts the devastating aftermath of the 1695 bombardment of Brussels. The drawing, created between 1695 and 1795, captures the city's ruins, with crumbling buildings and debris scattered across the landscape. The artist's use of pen and ink with grey wash effectively conveys the somber atmosphere and the destruction that ravaged the city. The drawing serves as a poignant reminder of the destructive power of war, capturing the immediate aftermath of the bombardment and its lasting impact on the city's landscape. This work is housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
