The Forum at Pompeii

Französische Malerei 1809–1830, 1819

This painting shows ancient ruins made of reddish-brown stone. In front of these dilapidated walls are lines of tan and gray columns and free-standing arches. The brown ground is littered with cream-colored stones. In the background, there are rolling gray hills and distant mountains under a blue sky with fluffy white clouds.
