"Ruins by River" is a painting by Salvator Rosa, an Italian Baroque painter, poet, and printmaker, who was active in Naples, Rome, and Florence. This artwork is one of Rosa's landscapes, a genre in which he was particularly influential. Rosa is known for his wild and rugged landscapes that often included elements of the sublime, reflecting the more tempestuous and romantic aspects of the Baroque movement.

The painting "Ruins by River" depicts a dramatic and moody landscape scene, characteristic of Rosa's style, with ancient ruins beside a river, possibly evoking the passage of time and the transient nature of human endeavors in contrast to the enduring natural world. The ruins, bathed in a chiaroscuro effect of light and shadow, serve as a testament to the decay of past civilizations and are a common motif in Rosa's work, symbolizing the melancholic reflection on the ruins of antiquity.

While the exact date of creation for "Ruins by River" is not clearly documented, Salvator Rosa's most productive period was during the mid-17th century, and his landscapes from this time are noted for their expressive and often turbulent aesthetic. The painting is likely to be housed in a museum or private collection, contributing to the understanding of Rosa's artistic legacy and the development of landscape painting in the Baroque era.

As with many of Rosa's landscapes, "Ruins by River" would have appealed to the 17th-century taste for the picturesque and the sublime, offering viewers an opportunity to engage with a romanticized vision of nature and the remnants of the classical past. The work's significance lies not only in its aesthetic qualities but also in its influence on later generations of artists who sought to capture the emotional power of the natural world.
