Ruinen römischer Thermen is a 1697 unspecified by Pietro Capelli, held at Bavarian State Painting Collections.
This painting depicts a grand, ancient structure with a large central archway and several columns. The scene is set in a courtyard, with people sitting and standing around the perimeter. In the foreground, a figure sits on a bench, while another stands nearby. The artist has used a range of colors to create depth and texture in the painting. The sky above is a soft, pale blue, while the stone walls and columns are a warm, earthy tone. The figures in the foreground are dressed in simple, flowing robes. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting adds depth and dimension to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye into the heart of the ancient structure.
Pietro Capelli or Pietro Cappelli (born circa 1700, died 1724 or 1727) was an Italian painter of the Rococo, active in his native city of Naples.
