This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Ruins of the Old Kreuzkirche in Dresden designed from a painting by Bernardo Bellotto, Il Canaletto shows the monumental crumble of a structure that once stood tall in perfection, but now has been reduced to rubble which oddly enough represents a thing of beauty. The beauty lies in the fact that even though it has been reduced to rubble, remnants in this scene are still standing as a testament of strength and endurance. At the base of the rubble and crumbled bricks, people are milling about observing the destruction and what is left. This is a beauty and a challenge for anyone who enjoys the complex nature of ancient ruins in contrast with new structures! I would love to complete this myself one day. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
