Landschap met ruïnes 1738 - 1767

"Landschap met ruïnes" (Landscape with Ruins), a print by Fabio Berardi, is a picturesque depiction of a ruined classical structure. Created between 1738 and 1767, the artwork showcases a grand archway overgrown with vegetation, a statue on a pedestal, and distant ruins. The artist's attention to detail and use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and perspective, inviting the viewer to imagine the grandeur of the past and the passage of time. This print is a testament to Berardi's mastery of architectural drawing and his ability to capture the beauty and melancholy of ruins, a popular theme in Italian art of the 18th century.
