"Figures Resting before a Ruined Fortress" is an 18th-century painting by the English landscape artist Anthony Devis (1729–1816). Known for his detailed and picturesque landscapes, Devis was part of a family of painters that included his brother Arthur Devis, who specialized in portraits and conversation pieces. Anthony Devis's work often reflects the British taste for romanticized pastoral scenes and the influence of the Picturesque movement, which emphasized the beauty found in the ruggedness and irregularity of natural landscapes.

This particular painting, "Figures Resting before a Ruined Fortress," captures a serene moment in a pastoral setting, where a group of figures is depicted taking a leisurely rest amidst the backdrop of a crumbling fortress. The ruins serve as a testament to the passage of time and the impermanence of human endeavors, a common theme in the era's landscape paintings. Devis's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the textural contrasts between the organic forms of nature and the decaying man-made structure, contribute to the overall tranquil and contemplative mood of the piece.

The artwork is characteristic of Devis's style, which often included small figures within expansive landscapes to give a sense of scale and to add narrative interest. While the painting's exact date of creation is not well-documented, it is likely from the mid-to-late 18th century, a period when Devis was most active and when the fascination with ruins and the natural world was at its height in British art.

"Figures Resting before a Ruined Fortress" is an example of the type of work that contributed to Anthony Devis's reputation as a skilled landscape painter. His ability to blend the real with the idealized, and to invoke a sense of calm and reflection, is evident in this piece. Although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Devis's work remains an important part of the study of British landscape painting and the cultural context of the 18th century.
