Landschap met rechts een begroeide ruïne 1725 - 1763

This etching titled "Landschap met rechts een begroeide ruïne" (Landscape with a overgrown ruin on the right) by Quentin Pierre Chedel depicts a rural scene with a crumbling ruin nestled amongst foliage. The artist, who lived from 1705 to 1763, executed the print in a delicate black and white style typical of the 18th century. The scene evokes a sense of romanticism with the overgrown ruin symbolizing the passage of time and the enduring power of nature. This work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the enduring appreciation for Chedel's artistic vision.
