About the piece
In this 1858 masterwork, George Inness captures the storied landscape of the Roman Campagna with a romantic, luminous touch. The composition masterfully juxtaposes the grand scale of ancient aqueduct ruins against the everyday presence of local shepherds, all bathed in the warm, golden light of the Italian sun.
