Attributed to Ippolito CAFFI (1809-1866) Roman aqueduct Oil on canvas 28 x 45 cm "Scarcely do you discover a few trees, but everywhere rise the ruins of aqueducts and tombs; ruins that seem to be the native forests and plants of a land composed of the dust of the dead and the debris of empires." (Letter from Chateaubriand to M. de Fontanes on the Roman campaign). Ippolito Caffi depicted the remains of ancient temples and sections of ruined aqueducts that can still be seen in the Roman countryside, testimony to the past grandeur of Roman civilization. Our painting can be compared with a variant version of a composition by Ippolito Caffi in the Museo di Roma, Rome.
