"Temple of Jupiter Serapis, Pozzuoli" is a 19th-century painting by Francis Russell Nixon, an English artist and clergyman known for his landscape and architectural works. The painting depicts the ancient Roman Macellum of Pozzuoli, commonly but erroneously referred to as the Temple of Serapis due to the discovery of a statue of Serapis within its precincts. This archaeological site in Pozzuoli, near Naples, Italy, was a market building that became emblematic of the study of bradyseism, the gradual uplift or descent of part of the Earth's surface, due to the visible boreholes made by marine mollusks on the columns, indicating changes in sea level over time.

Nixon's work captures the grandeur and decay of the Roman ruins, reflecting the Romantic era's fascination with the sublime and the passage of time. The painting is characterized by its attention to detail, the interplay of light and shadow, and the use of perspective to convey the scale and texture of the ancient edifice. It serves as both a historical record of the site's condition during the 19th century and an artistic interpretation of its enduring beauty and cultural significance.

The "Temple of Jupiter Serapis, Pozzuoli" is notable for its contribution to the visual arts and its reflection of the period's interest in classical antiquity. It is also an example of how art and archaeology intersect, providing insights into past civilizations while also offering aesthetic appeal and emotional resonance. Francis Russell Nixon's painting is a valuable piece for both its artistic merit and its portrayal of an important historical and archaeological landmark.
