"View of the Temple of Diana Nemi with a Shepherd in the Foreground" is an 18th-century landscape painting by the Welsh artist Thomas Jones (1742–1803). Renowned for his pioneering plein-air works, Jones created this piece during his time in Italy, where he was deeply influenced by the picturesque countryside and the ruins of antiquity. The painting depicts the ancient Temple of Diana at Nemi, a site steeped in myth and legend, situated in the Alban Hills near Rome.

In this work, Jones masterfully captures the serene atmosphere of the Italian landscape, combining his keen observation of nature with a classical subject matter. The temple, bathed in the warm Mediterranean light, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire, while the inclusion of a shepherd in the foreground adds a pastoral charm and a sense of scale to the scene. The shepherd, likely a contemporary figure, contrasts with the time-worn ruins, creating a dialogue between the past and the present.

Jones's attention to detail and his ability to render the textures of the ancient stones and the lush vegetation showcase his technical skill. The composition is balanced, with the temple's architecture anchoring the scene and the natural elements providing a harmonious backdrop. The painting is a fine example of Jones's landscape oeuvre and reflects the broader European interest in classical antiquity and the Grand Tour during the 18th century.

"View of the Temple of Diana Nemi with a Shepherd in the Foreground" is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical value, offering insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the period. It remains an important work within Thomas Jones's body of art and contributes to the understanding of the development of landscape painting in Britain and the influence of Italian travels on British artists.
