18th Century Framed French Hand-Painted Engraving of Classical Architectural Ruins was a popular theme during the period, where imaginary scenes were constructed by artists inspired by ancient Roman and Greek ruins which were ubiquitous all over the continent of Europe. In the foreground we see a nobleman conversing with a companion that appears to be a professional hunter, as they rest in the tranquil scene. The artist has also realistically interspersed naturalistic vegetation sprouting amongst the stone ruins, showing how Mother Nature always reclaims her land. In this example the original engraving has been carefully and artfully hand-painted to add a touch of color. Recently professionally matted and framed, it's ready to beautify your home today!
