De kapel aan de Haar 1743

"De kapel aan de Haar" is a 1743 drawing by Dutch artist Hendrik de Winter, depicting a chapel in ruins surrounded by trees and a low stone wall. The drawing captures the chapel's weathered exterior, with broken windows and a partially collapsed roof, while the surrounding foliage suggests a sense of tranquility and natural growth reclaiming the structure. De Winter's detailed rendering and use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and atmosphere, characteristic of his work in the mid-18th century. The artwork, now located in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the enduring presence of architectural remains within the natural world.
