About the piece
Painted in 1866, this work by Ippolito Caffi depicts the Roman Forum with striking clarity and warmth. The composition is anchored by the imposing Arch of Constantine and leads the eye toward distant ruins and the Arch of Titus, all bathed in the luminous, golden light characteristic of the Roman Campagna.
