"The Temple of Serapides at Pozzuoli" is a notable painting by the French artist Hubert Robert, who was renowned for his captivating landscapes and architectural capriccios. Created in the 18th century, this artwork reflects Robert's fascination with classical antiquity and his skill in blending real and imagined elements to evoke a sense of romantic decay.

The painting depicts the Macellum of Pozzuoli, commonly but erroneously referred to as the Temple of Serapis due to the discovery of a statue of the deity Serapis within its vicinity. This ancient Roman market building, located near Naples, Italy, became a subject of interest for artists and scholars during the Grand Tour era because of its striking bradyseism-affected columns, which showed evidence of marine boreholes, indicating changes in sea level over time.

Hubert Robert's interpretation of the site is imbued with a picturesque quality, showcasing the interplay of light and shadow amidst the ruins, which he often employed to evoke a sense of the sublime. His work captures the grandeur of the classical past while also commenting on the transience of human achievements in the face of time and nature.

The Temple of Serapides at Pozzuoli is a testament to Robert's mastery of landscape painting and his influence on the development of the romantic movement in art. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Hubert Robert and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance, as well as its contribution to the 18th-century European fascination with ruins and the aesthetics of decay.
