A View of the Ruins of the Baths of Caracalla

Giovanni Battista Lusieri

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with ancient ruins. The ruins are made of stone and have arches and columns. Two large stone structures stand on either side of a large archway. The structures are tall and have cracks and crumbling sections. There are smaller structures behind and to the right. Greenery grows from the top of the structures. A dirt path leads to the archway, and two people stand on the path. One person wears a red skirt and a white top, and the other person wears a blue coat and white pants. A dog is with them. The sky is cloudy and blue. The painting has a thin gold border and a thick black border.
