This etching by Claude Gellée Lorrain, known as Claude Lorrain, depicts the ruins of the Temple of the Giant in Cumae. Dating to 1660, the artwork is a detailed view of the ancient structure, surrounded by lush trees, with a glimpse of a small stream. The artist's signature and date can be seen in the upper right corner. The etching is a testament to Lorrain's mastery of landscape and architectural representation, and it provides a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Roman architecture. The work is currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago.
