介绍（中）	与卡斯帕·大卫·弗里德里希和约翰·克里斯蒂安·克劳森达尔都对他的艺术产生了重大影响，卡尔·布莱琴可以被称为德国浪漫主义的主要景观学家之一。他是一位更加主观的画家，通过想象力和技术实验改变了他对自然和建筑的观察。这幅画中引以为豪的中世纪建筑——事实上，它只不过是一堵由一排拱形拱顶支撑的看似无尽的墙——已经被植被覆盖，并被水侵蚀。Blechen丰富的技巧激发了自然战胜人类这一典型的浪漫主义主题：他刮去墨水，为水增添亮点，并唤起左侧树干鳞状的表面。这幅画与1824年的一幅画直接相关，这幅画不幸在1931年的一场大火中被毁。它紧张而谨慎的执行，以及它与从洞穴中看到被淹没的墙壁的画作之间的差异，表明它是一件独立的作品，是一幅著名画布在纸上的灵感重复。前景中没有洞穴拱门，这减少了对主题想象特征的强调，使这幅画更加令人难忘。
介绍（英）	With Caspar David Friedrich and Johan Christian Clausen Dahl, who both exerted a major influence on his art, Karl Blechen can be termed one of the leading landscapists of German Romanticism. A more overtly subjective painter, he transformed his observations of nature and architecture by means of his imagination and technical experiments. The proud medieval building in this drawing—in fact hardly more than a seemingly endless wall supported by a row of arched vaults—has been overgrown by vegetation and worn away by water. The quintessentially Romantic theme of the victory of nature over man is animated by the richness of Blechen's technique: he scraped away ink to add highlights to the water and evoke the scaly surface of the stems of the trees at left. The drawing is directly related to a painting from 1824 that was unfortunately destroyed in a fire in 1931. Its nervous yet careful execution and the differences between it and the painting, in which the inundated wall is seen from within a cavern, suggest that it was intended as an independent work, an inspired repetition on paper of a celebrated canvas. The absence of the arch of the cavern in the foreground places less emphasis on the imaginary character of the subject, making the drawing all the more haunting.
