Opus 24: Rome, from the Campagna, Sunset is an 1867 oil painting on canvas by Thomas Moran.[1] It is one of 42 paintings Moran included on his "Opus List", a list of the paintings he viewed as his finest work.[2]
From June 1866 to May 1867, Moran visited Europe, a trip that included several weeks in the Campagna region of Italy.[2] During his time in the Campagna, Moran drew multiple sketches of the local landscape.[3] One such sketch, titled Rome near the Claudian Aqueduct, is thought to have been Moran's reference for the final painting.[2]
Opus 24 was one of Moran's first works to be completed after he returned to the United States in 1867.[2][4]
