The Aqueducts at Caserta

Carl Ludwig Hackert

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with a large aqueduct in the background. The aqueduct is made of red brick and has many arches spanning its length. It stretches across the width of the painting, situated on top of a hill or mountain. In the foreground, two people are standing on a dirt path. The person on the left wears a white robe and a head covering, holding a staff or shepherd's crook. The person on the right wears a brown robe and points toward the aqueduct. The landscape features trees, grassy areas, and rocky outcroppings. A few buildings are scattered throughout the scene. The sky above is blue with white clouds.
