Triumphal Arch in Rome 

Oswald Achenbach, a German artist known for his landscape paintings, captures the majesty of the Triumphal Arch in Rome in this work. This painting displays a Romantic sensibility to the dramatic lighting and the way the ancient ruins are nestled into the natural landscape. The figures in the foreground add a sense of scale and remind us of the long history of this landmark. Achenbach's "Triumphal Arch in Rome" is a masterful study of light and shadow, conveying the grandeur of the Roman Empire.
