Gezicht op de ruïne van het koor van de Sint-Maartens- of Grote Kerk in Tiel c. 1725 - 1740

Abraham Rademaker's "Gezicht op de ruïne van het koor van de Sint-Maartens- of Grote Kerk in Tiel" is a detailed pen and wash drawing depicting the ruins of the choir of the Sint-Maartenskerk in Tiel, the Netherlands. This 18th-century artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the architectural grandeur of the ruined church, showcasing its weathered stonework, soaring columns, and arched windows. The drawing’s perspective emphasizes the scale of the ruin, creating a sense of melancholy and the passage of time. This evocative depiction of a once-grand structure is a testament to Rademaker's skill in capturing the beauty and pathos of historical ruins.
