Ruïne van een gebouw te Oud-Goa before 1883

"Ruïne van een gebouw te Oud-Goa" is a photogravure by Hugues Krafft, a French photographer and artist known for his work in India. The print, which dates back to before 1883, depicts a crumbling structure in the Old Goa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The image, characteristic of Krafft's style, is marked by a detailed rendering of the architectural ruin, juxtaposed against the lush vegetation. This evocative image highlights the passage of time and the remnants of a bygone era in a fascinating fusion of nature and architecture. The work, part of Krafft's photographic documentation of India, offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Goa and its architectural heritage.
