The Temple of Neptune, Paestum is a 1790 watercolor by Willey Reveley, a Neoclassicism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a large, ancient temple with many columns. The temple is surrounded by bushes and trees, and a person is walking in front of it. The temple has a lot of details, like the columns and the roof. It looks like it's been damaged over time. The person in front is wearing old-fashioned clothes and carrying a stick. The painting is very detailed and shows the beauty of the old temple. If you like paintings of old buildings, you might also like works by the artist Reveley, Willey.
