A View through Three of the North-Western Arches of the Third Storey of the Coliseum is a painting by the Danish painter C. W. Eckersberg. It was painted in 1815 or 1816 when Eckersberg sojourned in Rome, painting a series of works of the ancient ruins of the city. [1]
The details of the ruins are precisely observed as they appear at the Colosseum in Rome. The views of the city, however, are a construction as Eckersberg connected three separate views to create a new harmony. [1] The Royal Engraving Collection has two sketches Eckersberg did to plan his work.
An example of Danish Golden Age painting, the work was included in a Danish canon on art. [2]
