"Ruins of Pevensey Castle" is a watercolor painting by Michael Angelo Rooker (1746–1801), an English artist known for his landscape and architectural subjects. The painting depicts the medieval ruins of Pevensey Castle located in East Sussex, England. Rooker, who was a pupil of Paul Sandby, became an associate of the Royal Academy in 1770 and was known for his adept use of watercolors to capture the picturesque qualities of ruins and landscapes, which were popular subjects in the 18th century.

The artwork captures the atmospheric and romantic essence of the ruins, reflecting the period's fascination with the past and the aesthetic of the sublime. Rooker's attention to detail and his ability to render the textures of the ancient stones and overgrown vegetation illustrate his skill as a topographical artist. The castle's historical significance as a Roman fort and later a Norman stronghold is subtly conveyed through the painting's evocative portrayal of its decay and the passage of time.

"Ruins of Pevensey Castle" is representative of Rooker's contribution to the genre of landscape painting and the cult of the picturesque. His works were often included in publications such as "The Virtuosi's Museum" and contributed to the public's interest in Britain's historical and natural sites. The painting not only serves as an artistic representation of a historical site but also as a document of the era's cultural and aesthetic values. As with many of Rooker's pieces, this work likely appealed to collectors and viewers who had an appreciation for both art and the historical narratives connected to Britain's architectural heritage.
