Franz Kobell, a German artist known for his landscape drawings and paintings, created "Bergige Landschaft, rechts eine Burgruine" sometime between 1749 and 1822. This drawing, now held in the Städel Museum, depicts a mountainous landscape with a prominent ruin in the distance. The scene is rendered in a meticulous yet delicate manner with light washes of brown ink, capturing the serenity of nature. The prominent tree in the foreground anchors the composition, drawing the viewer's eye towards the castle and the distant mountains. Kobell's masterful use of light and shadow provides depth and dimensionality to the scene. This drawing exemplifies the Romanticism movement, a popular artistic trend in Europe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, that emphasized the beauty and power of nature.
