Gezicht op een ruïne 1624 - 1629

Bartholomeus Breenbergh's "Gezicht op een ruïne" is a sepia-toned drawing depicting a ruined building, likely from the 17th century. The artist was known for his detailed depiction of architecture and landscapes, and this small drawing, measuring only 125 mm x 70 mm, exemplifies his ability to capture a sense of grandeur and history within a small format. The piece showcases Breenbergh's keen eye for detail, particularly in the subtle use of light and shadow to bring the crumbling structure to life. This drawing, created between 1624 and 1629, is a testament to Breenbergh's skill in capturing the evocative power of ruins.
