"The Colosseum, Rome 1860" is an oil painting by the British artist Frederick Lee Bridell (1831–1863), known for his landscape and historical paintings. Created in 1860, the artwork depicts the iconic ancient Roman amphitheater, the Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre. Bridell's work captures the grandeur and decay of this monumental structure, reflecting the Romantic era's fascination with the ruins and the historical past of Europe.

Bridell, who was a precocious talent and largely self-taught, traveled extensively in Europe, drawing inspiration from the varied landscapes and historical sites he visited. His journey to Italy, where he painted "The Colosseum, Rome 1860," was particularly influential in his artistic development. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the evocative portrayal of the Colosseum's weathered stones and arches, which stand as a testament to the passage of time.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it captures the Colosseum at a time when it was undergoing changes in the context of the broader cultural and political shifts of the 19th century. Bridell's painting is an example of the Victorian era's engagement with classical antiquity and the ways in which artists of the time interpreted and presented historical subjects to their contemporary audiences.

"The Colosseum, Rome 1860" is held in a private collection or a public institution, and it continues to be studied as part of Bridell's oeuvre and the broader context of mid-19th-century British art. The painting is appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as a historical document that offers insights into the period's artistic trends and cultural attitudes toward the ancient world.
