"Scene in the Campagna, from the Liber Studiorum, engraved by William Say, 1812" is a notable work by the eminent English Romantic painter Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775–1851). This piece is part of Turner's Liber Studiorum (Book of Studies), a collection of prints that was published in several parts between 1807 and 1819. The Liber Studiorum was an ambitious project that illustrated Turner's arguments for the artistic legitimacy of landscape painting by presenting it alongside historical, biblical, and literary themes. It was intended to serve as a visual counterpart to the poetry of nature, much like Alexander Pope's "translations" of Homer's epics into English verse.

The "Scene in the Campagna" captures the pastoral beauty of the Roman countryside, known as the Campagna, which was a popular subject for artists undertaking the Grand Tour during the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. Turner's depiction is characterized by its atmospheric effects and sublime representation of nature, which were hallmarks of his mature style. The engraving, executed by William Say, one of the leading mezzotint engravers of the time, translates Turner's masterful use of light and shadow into a print medium, allowing for a wider dissemination of Turner's vision.

The composition of "Scene in the Campagna" is typical of Turner's landscapes, with a sweeping vista that guides the viewer's eye through the scene, from the detailed foreground to the hazy, luminescent horizon. The work reflects Turner's deep engagement with both the classical landscape tradition and his own innovative techniques, which would influence the development of landscape painting in the 19th century.

As part of the Liber Studiorum, "Scene in the Campagna" was not only a demonstration of Turner's artistic philosophy but also a pedagogical tool for students and connoisseurs of art. The series was highly influential in shaping the understanding of landscape as a serious subject for art and contributed to Turner's lasting legacy as one of the greatest landscape painters of all time.
