"Arch of Titus, Rome, 1842 2" is a 19th-century artwork by Thomas Hartley Cromek, an English artist known for his landscape paintings and lithographs. Born in 1809, Cromek was the son of the engraver and painter Robert Hartley Cromek, and he developed his artistic skills under the influence of his father's circle and the broader Romantic movement that was prevalent during his time.

The piece "Arch of Titus, Rome, 1842 2" depicts the Arch of Titus, an ancient Roman honorific arch located on the Via Sacra, Rome, just to the south-east of the Roman Forum. Erected in c. AD 81 by the Emperor Domitian shortly after the death of his older brother Titus to commemorate Titus's victories, including the Siege of Jerusalem in AD 70, the arch has long been a subject of artistic interest due to its historical significance and the intricate reliefs that adorn its inner passageway.

Cromek's work captures the grandeur and intricate details of the Arch of Titus, reflecting the artist's attention to historical architecture and his ability to convey the texture and solidity of ancient structures. His choice to depict the arch may have been influenced by the Grand Tour, a traditional trip around Europe undertaken by mainly upper-class European young men of means, which often included visits to notable landmarks of classical antiquity such as the Roman Forum.

The artwork serves not only as a representation of a significant historical monument but also as an example of the British artistic fascination with Italian history and classical ruins that was common during the 19th century. Cromek's rendering of the Arch of Titus would have appealed to the sensibilities of his contemporaries, who valued both the aesthetic beauty and the cultural heritage embodied in such depictions.

As a historical piece, "Arch of Titus, Rome, 1842 2" contributes to the visual documentation of the arch before the extensive restorations of the 19th and 20th centuries, offering insights into the state of the monument at that time. The artwork is a testament to Cromek's skill as a landscape artist and his contribution to the preservation of historical sites through art.
