BRIL, Paul
(b. 1554, Antwerpen, d. 1626, Roma)

Ruins and Figures

c. 1600
Oil on copper, 27 x 35 cm
Musée du Louvre, Paris

This is one of Bril's most popular compositions. Freely inspired by the Campo Vaccino (the former Roman forum), this cityscape offers a picturesque combination of antique ruins and popular life.
