Landscape with Roman Ruins and a Procession is a 1605 paint by Paul Bril, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
The painting depicts a landscape with ancient Roman ruins and a procession. The scene is set in a valley with hills in the background. In the foreground, a large stone arch and columns are covered in vegetation. The procession is led by a group of people on horseback, followed by others on foot. The sky is cloudy and dark, with a crescent moon visible. The overall atmosphere is one of grandeur and decay. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Paul Bril, who was known for his landscapes and use of chiaroscuro.
Paul Bril was a Flemish painter and printmaker principally known for his landscapes. He spent most of his active career in Rome. His Italianate landscapes had a major influence on landscape painting in Italy and Northern Europe.
