  • La desesperación del artista ante la grandeza de las ruinas antiguas es un dibujo en tiza roja lavada en marrón, ejecutada entre 1778-1780 por Johann Heinrich Füssli. Representa la respuesta del artista a las ruinas, concretamente a las del Coloso de Constantino en los Museos Capitolinos de Roma. El trabajo fue adquirido por el museo Kunsthaus Zürich en 1940.​ La desesperación del artista puede ser causada por «la imposibilidad de emular la grandeza del pasado», por el conocimiento que todas las cosas deben decaer, o por un sentido de anhelo y dislocación no cumplidos.​ Las distorsiones de perspectiva y la «zambullida en el abismo» a lo largo del borde derecho evocan una sensación de pesadilla. Se puede leer la inscripción SPQR en la base del pie, mientras que brota vegetación cerca de la mano; el artista, en un «acceso de melancolía», es empequeñecido por los fragmentos del pasado.​ (es)
  • The Artist's Despair Before the Grandeur of Ancient Ruins (German: Der Künstler verzweifelnd vor der Grösse der antiken Trümmer) is a drawing in red chalk with brown wash executed between 1778–1780 by Johann Heinrich Füssli. It depicts an artist's response to ruins, namely those of the Colossus of Constantine at the Capitoline Museums in Rome. The work was acquired by the Kunsthaus Zürich in 1940. The artist's despair may be caused by "the impossibility of emulating the greatness of the past", by the knowledge that all things must decay, or by a sense of unfulfilled longing and dislocation. Distortions of perspective and the "plunge into the abyss" along the right edge conjure up a sense of nightmare. SPQR may be read in the inscription on the base of the foot, while vegetation sprouts up near the hand; the artist, in a "fit of melancholy", is dwarfed by the fragments of the past. (en)
