"Ruins of Ancient Rome c. 1620" is a notable painting by the Dutch artist Cornelis van Poelenburgh (1594/1595–1667), who was renowned for his small and highly polished landscapes that often incorporated classical ruins. This particular work exemplifies the artist's fascination with the remnants of the Roman Empire and reflects the broader interest in antiquity that was prevalent among educated Europeans during the 17th century, a period often referred to as the Grand Tour era.

The painting, measuring 54.5 by 71 cm, is executed in oil on panel and showcases Poelenburgh's skill in rendering the textures of stone and foliage, as well as his adept use of light to create atmospheric effects. "Ruins of Ancient Rome" depicts a capriccio, a type of landscape that includes architectural elements in a fictional or fanciful arrangement, which was a popular genre among Dutch and Flemish artists of the time. Poelenburgh's composition typically features classical ruins, often inspired by actual sites in and around Rome, populated by small figures in contemporary or classical attire.

Cornelis van Poelenburgh was a leading figure in the Dutch Italianate painting movement, having spent a significant period in Italy, particularly in Rome, where he was influenced by the work of Adam Elsheimer and became a member of the Bentvueghels, an association of mainly Dutch and Flemish artists working in Rome. "Ruins of Ancient Rome c. 1620" not only reflects Poelenburgh's personal experiences and artistic influences but also serves as an important example of the cultural exchange between Northern Europe and Italy during the early 17th century.

The painting is held in high esteem for its historical value and artistic merit, contributing to our understanding of the Dutch Golden Age's landscape tradition and the enduring allure of classical antiquity in European art. It remains a significant work for scholars studying the period and is appreciated by art enthusiasts for its delicate beauty and evocative portrayal of the ancient world.
