EDITORS COMMENTS
Jan Asselijin's Overgrown Courtyard of Ruined Castle is a captivating 17th century drawing that transports us to the heart of the Dutch Golden Age. This exquisite work of art, created using brush and gray wash with traces of black chalk on ivory laid paper, showcases the beauty and intrigue of a ruined castle's overgrown courtyard. Asselijn masterfully captures the essence of the past, as the once grand fortifications now lie in ruins, overtaken by nature. The castle's steps, now covered in moss and vines, beckon us to explore the hidden stories that lie within. The background people, dressed in the fashion of the time, add a sense of scale and life to the scene. The drawing is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the 17th century. It is a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the passage of time and the natural world's ability to reclaim what was once man-made. This work of art is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for history, architecture, and the natural world. It is currently housed in the Prints and Drawings department of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. Asselijn's Overgrown Courtyard of Ruined Castle is a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories that lie within the crumbling walls of this once grand castle.
