About Brugg

The artwork titled “Brugg” by John Ruskin was created in 1863. This piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.

The artwork is a finely detailed sketch depicting a serene riverside scene. A tranquil river flows from the foreground into the midground, flanked by a cluster of rustic buildings with tiled rooftops on either side. The architecture showcases the charm of a historical town, characterized by robust stone walls and the varied shapes of the structures, likely indicating different periods of construction. The river bends towards an arched stone bridge in the background, creating a picturesque perspective. Soft, muted tones, typical of pencil and subtle watercolors, enhance the atmospheric depth and serenity of the scene. The delicate interplay of light and shadow underscores the Romanticism movement’s emphasis on natural beauty and emotional expression.
