"Landskab med ruiner udenfor Rom" (Landscape with Ruins outside Rome) is a drawing created in 1764 by Danish artist Jens Petersen Lund (1725-1793). The artwork, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a detailed view of ancient Roman ruins, showcasing Lund's fascination with classical architecture and the beauty of decay. The delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and atmosphere, inviting the viewer to imagine the grandeur of the past.
