The Campagna, Rome, after sunset is a 1850 watercolor by John Collingham Moore, a Biedermeier work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a landscape with a vast, open field and a hill on the right side. The sky is cloudy, with shades of blue and pink, suggesting it's after sunset. In the distance, there are some trees and buildings, but they're not clearly defined. The overall mood of the painting is calm and serene.
