"Romersk" prospekt 1730 - 1793

"Romersk prospekt" is a pen and wash drawing by Danish artist Jens Petersen Lund, created between 1730 and 1793. The drawing depicts a Roman ruin with arched structures, overgrown with vegetation. Lund, known for his architectural drawings and landscapes, captured the grandeur of the Roman ruins, suggesting their past glory through their decay. The drawing, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Lund's meticulous attention to detail, using subtle washes of grey and green to render the scene with atmospheric realism.
