"The English Garden of Caserta with Views of Vesuvius" is a notable landscape painting by Jakob Philipp Hackert, a German painter renowned for his mastery in depicting landscapes and seascapes. Created in 1783, this work is part of a series of paintings that Hackert produced during his time in Italy, where he became the premier landscape painter of his era, particularly under the patronage of the Bourbon kings of Naples.

The painting captures the idyllic and meticulously designed English Garden, or "Giardino all'inglese," of the Royal Palace of Caserta, juxtaposed with the dramatic backdrop of Mount Vesuvius. The Royal Palace of Caserta, located in the region of Campania in southern Italy, was constructed for the Bourbon kings of Naples and is one of the largest palaces erected in Europe during the 18th century. Its English Garden, designed by English botanist John Graefer under the direction of Queen Maria Carolina, wife of King Ferdinand IV of Naples, was an innovative addition to the predominantly Baroque and Italianate landscape design of the time.

Hackert's painting is significant for its historical and cultural context, as it not only showcases the picturesque and romantic elements of the garden but also serves as a visual record of the landscape and the active volcano during the late 18th century. The work is characterized by its fine attention to detail, the interplay of light and shadow, and the use of perspective to draw the viewer's eye towards the distant Vesuvius. It reflects the era's fascination with the sublime and the picturesque, as well as the influence of Enlightenment thought on the appreciation of natural beauty.

"The English Garden of Caserta with Views of Vesuvius" is a testament to Hackert's skill in capturing the essence of a landscape and the spirit of an age. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of landscape painting and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its depiction of the cultural landscape of 18th-century Italy.
