Capriccio with Roman Ruins, Sculptures and a Port
EDITORS COMMENTS
, circa 1650. This stunning oil on canvas painting is the work of Dutch artist Bartholomeus Breenbergh (1598-1657). The piece showcases his mastery of Baroque-era art, blending architectural grandeur with mythological flair.
In this capriccio, ancient Roman ruins and sculptures are juxtaposed against a serene port scene. Majestic obelisks rise from the rubble, while classical columns support ornate pediments. In the distance, ships navigate tranquil waters as seagulls soar overhead. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer into this fantastical world.
This masterpiece is part of the esteemed Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection at Madrid's Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza. It stands alongside other iconic works from Europe's Golden Age, a testament to Breenbergh's innovative style and artistic prowess. "Capriccio with Roman Ruins, Sculptures and a Port" is an exquisite example of 17th-century Dutch artistry, evoking the grandeur of ancient Rome while capturing the essence of Baroque-era creativity.
