Roman Ruins with a Stand of Cypresses is a 1747 graphite by Joseph-Marie Vien, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting is called Roman Ruins with a Stand of Cypresses. It was made by Joseph-Marie Vien between 1744 and 1750. The artist used graphite on laid paper to create this work, which is part of the Baroque movement, and this movement is interesting because it often featured dramatic lighting and intense emotions. You can learn more about this style at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
