Oil on canvas, 92 x 68,5 cm
Groeninge Museum, Bruges

The Landscape with Roman Ruins, traditionally ascribed to Paul de Cock, is a striking example of the fashionable vedute - a Roman capriccio mixing together famous ruins like the Pantheon, the temple of Castor and Pollux and the Coliseum. De Cock was Garemijn's successor as director of the Bruges Academy.
