Bartholomeus Breenbergh was a Dutch painter, active from 1598 to 1657. This drawing, titled "Ruin," depicts a partially ruined building with crumbling walls and arched doorways, now part of the collection of the Städel Museum. The artist's depiction of the crumbling structure hints at the passage of time, focusing on the beauty of decay. Breenbergh's works often explored the relationship between human creation and the forces of nature, making this piece a prime example of a 17th-century Dutch drawing of architectural ruins.
