Ruined shrine is a 1870 oil by Cyprian Norwid, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting depicts a dark, ruined shrine with a horse and a lamb standing in front of it. The horse is positioned on the left side of the image, while the lamb is situated on the right. The shrine appears to be in a state of disrepair, with broken walls and a crumbling roof. In the background, there are trees and a cloudy sky. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of melancholy and decay. The use of dark colors and the depiction of a ruined shrine create a sense of sadness and loss. The presence of the horse and lamb adds a sense of innocence and vulnerability to the scene. The painting is a work by Cyprian Norwid, and it is held at the National Museum in Warsaw.
