EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil drawing by Bartholomeus Ziesenis, titled "Design for a monument for C. Brunings: a bust, 1806," showcases a thoughtful and intricately detailed concept for a memorial dedicated to the civil engineer, Christiaan Brunings. The monument takes the form of a bust, featuring a close-up view of Brunings' stoic and serious visage. The design is adorned with decorative elements, including a grieving putto, or cherub, resting at the base of the bust. The putto holds a wreath, symbolizing the honors and accolades Brunings received during his esteemed career in civil engineering. The monument stands atop a tall, ornate column, which is intricately decorated with cherubs, amorini, and other ornamental motifs. The column is inscribed with Brunings' name, occupation, and the year of his birth. The design exudes a sense of grandeur and importance, befitting a man of Brunings' achievements in the field of hydraulics and civil engineering. The drawing, executed in watercolor and pencil, is a testament to Ziesenis' artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of Brunings' legacy. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the design, making it all the more striking. This beautiful and historic artwork is a valuable addition to any collection of Dutch and European art from the nineteenth century.
