The artwork titled “Templo de San Bernardo” was created by Jose Maria Velasco in the year 1861. It belongs to the Romanticism art movement and is categorized under the genre of cityscape.
In this artwork, Velasco deftly captures the remnants of the once-majestic Templo de San Bernardo. The scene is filled with architectural ruins, with a prominent archway and crumbling walls that evoke a sense of historical decay. The foreground is dominated by large, fragmented stones and rubble, while the background features partially intact buildings set against a clear, blue sky. The meticulous attention to detail and the play of light and shadow reflect Velasco’s mastery and reverence for the architectural subjects, encapsulating a poignant moment in time within the urban landscape.
