View of the Colosseum and the Arch of Constantine 

Antonietta Brandeis, a 19th-century painter known for her detailed depictions of historical architecture, captured the iconic Roman Colosseum and Arch of Constantine in this landscape painting. The painting's perspective, looking down from a slight elevation, emphasizes the scale and grandeur of these ancient structures. The inclusion of a few figures in the foreground, such as a couple in the lower left, adds a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. The cloudy sky and lush greenery create a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the heart of ancient Rome.
