Opus 24: Rome, from the Campagna, Sunset is an 1867 oil painting on canvas by Thomas Moran. [1] It is one of 42 paintings Moran included on his "Opus List", a list of the paintings he viewed as his finest work. [2]

Background and composition

From June 1866 to May 1867, Moran visited Europe, a trip that included several weeks in the Campagna region of Italy. [2] During his time in the Campagna, Moran drew multiple sketches of the local landscape. [3] One such sketch, titled Rome near the Claudian Aqueduct, is thought to have been Moran's reference for the final painting. [2]

Opus 24 was one of Moran's first works to be completed after he returned to the United States in 1867. [2] [4]

Provenance

Opus 24 is first known to have been sold in the 1880s, when Moran sold the painting for $75(equivalent to $2,444 in 2024). In 2005, a relative of the original buyer donated the painting to the Timken Museum of Art in San Diego. [2]
