"The Claudean Aqueduct and Colosseum" is a painting by Thomas Jones (1742–1803), a Welsh landscape painter known for his pioneering plein-air work and his role in the development of British landscape painting. The artwork depicts a picturesque view of the ancient Roman aqueduct, the Aqua Claudia, with the iconic Colosseum in the background. This juxtaposition of the two monumental structures serves to evoke the grandeur and enduring legacy of Roman engineering and architecture.

Thomas Jones, who spent a significant period of his career in Italy, was particularly influenced by the Roman landscape and the effects of its light on the ruins and surrounding countryside. His work often reflects a keen observation of natural light, shadow, and atmospheric effects, which he skillfully incorporated into his depictions of the Italian terrain.

"The Claudean Aqueduct and Colosseum" is notable for its attention to detail and the artist's ability to convey the texture and materiality of the ancient ruins. Jones's use of color and composition in this painting exemplifies his adeptness at capturing the essence of the scene before him, a characteristic that distinguishes his work from that of his contemporaries.

As with many of Jones's paintings, this work is appreciated for its historical value as well as its aesthetic qualities. It provides a visual record of the state of the Roman ruins during the 18th century, offering insights into the preservation and transformation of these structures over time.

The painting is considered an important contribution to the canon of British landscape art and is studied for its innovative approach to outdoor painting, which would later influence the plein-air practices of the Impressionists. It remains a testament to Thomas Jones's artistic vision and his enduring fascination with the landscapes of Italy.
